Create Inventory Sync Groups automatically with Smart Scan
The Smart Scan feature in Tipo Sync automatically detects and groups products that share matching SKUs. This helps you save time and reduce manual setup errors when managing large inventories.
What is Smart Scan?
Smart Scan searches your store’s catalog and groups products based on identical SKUs. Once grouped, these products will automatically sync inventory levels.
This ensures consistent stock data across all related items.
How to use
Open the sync app > click on Inventory Groups section on the left menu > Click Smart Scan button
In the Smart Scan Inventory Groups page, configure the following options:
Choose How to Handle Groups
Create new groups: Create fresh groups for products that match your scan criteria.
Overwrite existing groups: Replace your current Product Groups with new ones found during the scan.
Create new groups if not exist and overwrite existing groups: Create new groups for unmatched products and update any existing ones.
Select Which Products to Scan
All products: Scan every product in your store.
Products that match the tags below: Only scan products that contain the tags you specify.
Products except those that match the tags below: Exclude products that have the specified tags (recommended if you only want to skip certain products).
💡 Example: Products that match the tags Women
If you add the tag women, all products with this tag will be grouped during the scan.
Auto activate locations (Optional)
Enable Auto activate locations if you want the app to automatically activate the relevant locations when running Smart Scan.
Once all options are set, click Scan Now to begin grouping products automatically.
Optionally, click Export CSV to download your current product list before scanning.
After the Scan
When Smart Scan finishes:
You’ll see new Product Groups created in your Product Groups list.
Each group will contain products with the same tag (following your tag rules).
These groups will automatically sync inventory across your selected stores.
