App overview
This page gives you a quick tour of the main areas of SKU Stock Sync and links to the detailed article for each one. If you are new to the app, start here for a high-level view, then open the page you need.
What the app is for
SKU Stock Sync helps keep inventory aligned between product variants that share the same SKU at the same Shopify location.
The app watches for inventory changes, then processes matching SKU groups when they become due. This helps keep related variant stock levels in sync without you needing to manually update each one.
If you want a deeper explanation of how syncing works behind the scenes, see How SKU Stock Sync works.
Main areas of the app
SKU Stock Sync is organized into a few main areas so you can check whether syncing is running, review past activity, understand results, and spot issues that need attention.
Check whether the app is monitoring your store, pause syncing if needed, and run a manual sync.
Review previous sync runs and see what changed during each run.
Understand what the app processed, what was skipped, and what did not need any change.
See important issues the app has detected that may affect syncing, such as stock oscillation.
Sync
The Sync area is where you check the current monitoring status between SKU Stock Sync and your store.
See whether inventory syncing is active, paused, or still being set up
Confirm that the app is currently monitoring inventory changes
Pause syncing when you need to temporarily stop automated processing
Run a manual sync on demand
This is usually the first place to look if you want to confirm that the app is active and ready.
History
The Sync history area helps you review previous sync runs.
See when a sync run happened
Review what changed during that run
Look back at past activity when you are checking an inventory update
This page is useful when you want to understand what the app changed and when it happened.
Insights
The Insights area gives you a broader view of sync results.
It helps you understand:
what the app processed
what was skipped
what did not need any change
This makes it easier to understand overall syncing activity, not just the individual runs listed in history. It is especially helpful when you want more context around app behavior and outcomes over time.
Insights is based on SKU Stock Sync activity. It helps explain what the app saw and did, but it is not a complete audit of all Shopify inventory activity.
Alerts
The Alerts area notifies you when SKU Stock Sync detects important issues that may affect syncing.
Alerts are meant to help you notice problems early so you can review them and decide whether action is needed. A current example is stock oscillation.
If you see an alert, treat it as a sign that the app has detected something important enough to call out, not just routine sync activity.
