Setting a group's stock

Set a known stock level for a group and push it to every member in Shopify from the Groups page.

What adjusting a group's stock does

Adjusting sets a new stock level for a group and updates every member's available inventory in Shopify to that number.

This is the fastest way to put a group into a known, correct state. Instead of editing each variant in Shopify and waiting for the app to reconcile them, you set the number once and the app writes it to every member.

Warning: This writes to Shopify straight away and overwrites the current available quantity on every member of the group. Make sure the number you enter is the quantity you actually want.

How to set a group's stock

Open the Groups page: Go to the app's Groups page.
Open the group: Select the group you want to change, or tick several groups to set them all to the same number.
Choose Adjust: In the group's detail panel, choose Adjust.
Enter the new stock level: Type the quantity all members should share.
Confirm with Set and sync: The app applies the new quantity to every member of the group in Shopify.

While this runs, the group shows an Adjusting status on the Groups page.

When to use it

Adjusting is useful when:

You have done a stock count and know the correct number for a SKU at a location.
A group has drifted and you want to reset it rather than work out which member is wrong.
You are correcting the result of another app or an import that set the wrong quantity.

Tip: If you only want to find out whether a group is currently correct, do not adjust it. Use Check groups instead, which reads Shopify without changing anything. See Checking if a group is in sync.

What happens afterwards

Once the adjustment is applied, all members of the group share the quantity you set.

Normal syncing continues from there. If a member's stock changes later, the group becomes due again and is processed on your plan's update speed. See When inventory gets synced.

Warning: If another inventory app also controls these variants, it may change the quantity again after you set it. If your adjustment does not stick, see Another app is changing inventory.

Does adjusting affect your plan usage?

No. Adjusting a group's stock does not use any group syncs.

Group syncs are counted when the app processes due groups on a scheduled or manual sync. A stock adjustment you make yourself is not counted. See Plans, limits, and usage.

Adjusting is not the same as syncing a group

Both actions write to Shopify, but they use different numbers:

Adjust uses a number you enter, and applies it to every member.
Sync uses the stock level the app already has for that group, and pushes it to every member. It does not ask you for a quantity.

Use Adjust when you know the correct quantity. Use Sync when you want members brought back in line with what the app already recorded.
