Step 4: Set up Inventory Sync Options
With Inventory Sync enabled, LitCommerce automatically runs a process every 15 minutes to keep the inventory on the Sales Channel in sync with the Main Store. It also updates the Sales Channel with any Inventory adjustments made in the Main Store and those resulting from new orders received from the Marketplace.
Please note that LitCommerce synchronizes inventory from your Main Store to connected Marketplaces, but not vice-versa. Changes made directly to Marketplace inventory will not be reflected in your Main Store or LitCommerce.
This article describes how Inventory Sync and other options help you manage the Inventory Synchronization flow from the Main Store to the Marketplace.
To do this, go to the desired channel in the Sidebar Menu and click the Channel Settings button to find the Inventory Options.
When enabled, the Inventory Sync Options will be applied to all existing Listings in the Channel. If not, they will be applied 1 time when the new Listings are added from the Main Store to the Sales Channel.
The quantity will be calculated in sequential order of the inventory sync options.
Enabling the Inventory Sync will trigger an automatic process in the LitCommerce system every 15 minutes to scan for new updates in the Inventory in the Main Store and sync them to Linked Listings in the Marketplace.
Additionally, the system automatically import orders from Marketplaces to the application, aiming to maintain consistency between the Main Store and connected Channels.
By default, the Listing Status depends on the Product Status and available Inventory in the Main Store. Toggle this button to keep the Linked Listing on the Channel Active despite the Product Status in the Main Store.
Each Marketplace has its own restrictions regarding the Quantity. You can set the Inventory for Listings by utilizing the Inventory Rules. Here is how to establish them:
Automatically adjust the quantities on this channel in relation to the total quantity in your Main Store: Enter the percentage of the quantity that you want to use from the Main Store in the Marketplace.
You can choose the quantity rounding if the percentage is different from a multiple of 100.
For No Manage Stock listings: When the listing is linked to a No-Manage-Stock Product in All Products, the quantity in the Sales Channel will be automatically set to a fixed value.
Maximum/Minimum Quantity: Set up the maximum/minimum quantity to be displayed on the Marketplace regardless of the actual stock in the Main Store.
Automatically set the product on [Marketplace] to out of stock: Set up the listing’s stock status when the quantity reaches a fixed value. Utilize this if you want to have a buffer stock between the Marketplace and your Main Store.
|| Depending on the Marketplace and the Main Store, each Channel has its unique features. Kindly head to each Channel Settings to learn more information.
After setting up the Inventory Sync Options, scroll down at the bottom of the page to save the settings.
Once the Inventory Sync or Rules are set up, their statuses will be displayed under the Channel Name.
