Map locations to sync inventory between stores

To make sure your inventory quantities are always accurate, online orders and in-person sales are assigned to locations.

If the location(s) is selected, only the product in the location is updated when there are changes to inventory in both stores. Currently our app only syncs 1 location from to Source store to 1 location from Destination store. It is not possible to sync one location from Source store to 2 locations from Destination store.

Step 1: Decide locations to sync for Source store

1. Open the app in Source store > click Settings

2. Scroll down to Locations part, and select one of the 2 options below:

• All locations: products available in all locations of your store will be synced with the Destination store

• Specific locations: only the products in the selected location(s) is updated when there are changes in the Destination store

3. Click Save

Step 2: Map locations when connecting 2 stores

1. Open the app in Source store > click Stores > click Get connect code button > copy the connect code on the popup

2. Go to the Destination store open the Tipo Multi-store app > click Stores > click Connect Store button

3. Enter the connect key (from app setting in Destination store)

4. Select the products you want to sync and complete the setting in the connection detail.

How Inventory Sync Works with Locations

Your Shopify source store can have several inventory locations, such as a Warehouse, Retail Store, or Fulfillment Center.

To avoid syncing the wrong inventory, the app lets you choose one specific location as the source of truth for stock levels.

Once selected, the app will:

• Only read inventory from this chosen location in the source store.

• Automatically sync that inventory to the default location of your destination store(s).

This ensures that the synced stock reflects the correct location, especially if you separate online and offline inventory.

Example

• Source store (US): example-us.myshopify.com

Locations:

Source Warehouse (holds online inventory)

Destination Store (walk-in sales only)

• Destination store (UK): example-uk.myshopify.com

One default location

Goal: You want to sync inventory from your Main Warehouse only (not from your physical retail store).

Result:

• T-shirt Variant A

  • Main Warehouse stock: 20

  • Retail Store stock: 5

• App syncs 20 units to example-uk.myshopify.com, not 25.
