SKU Stock Sync DocsWhat happens if I edit inventory directly in Shopify?
If you edit inventory in Shopify, SKU Stock Sync may detect the change and sync matching variants in the same SKU/location group.
If you edit inventory directly in Shopify, SKU Stock Sync may detect that inventory change and process the related SKU/location group.
If other variants share the same SKU at the same Shopify location, SKU Stock Sync may update the group so the matching variants stay aligned.
This is expected behavior when the variants are meant to share the same stock.
Warning
If you only want to change one variant without affecting related variants, make sure that variant does not share the same SKU at the same Shopify location.
Inventory changes are not always processed instantly. They may be processed during a scheduled sync, or sooner if manual sync is available and work is already waiting.
How should I correct inventory?
To correct a synced group, update one variant to the desired stock level and let SKU Stock Sync update the other variants in the group.
What is a group?
A group is a set of inventory items with the same SKU at the same Shopify location, used by SKU Stock Sync to keep stock aligned.
