Setup complete: what happens next
Setup is finished, monitoring has started, and SKU Stock Sync is ready to respond to inventory changes for matching SKU/location groups. This page explains what changes now, what to expect, and the best next steps.
You're set up and ready
Once setup is complete, SKU Stock Sync moves from setup mode into normal monitoring. That means the app is now watching for inventory changes and is ready to sync affected SKU/location groups when matching items change.
You do not need to manually build mappings as part of setup. The app organizes matching SKU/location groups automatically, based on the shared SKUs and locations it finds. From this point on, the app is ready to respond to changes in those matching groups according to its normal syncing behavior.
Info: Setup completion does not trigger a full store-wide inventory sync. Instead, it means the app is now ready to watch for inventory changes and sync the affected groups when changes happen.
What changes after setup
After setup finishes, the app begins monitoring your store inventory in the background. If inventory changes for a product that belongs to a matching SKU/location group, SKU Stock Sync can act on that group based on how syncing works in the app.
This is different from an immediate one-time sync of everything in your store. The app is not going product by product across your entire catalog at the moment setup completes. Instead, it is standing by and ready to keep matching groups in sync as inventory updates occur.
Automatic group organization
During and after setup, the app identifies products that share the same SKU and organizes them into matching groups by SKU and location. This is why you are not asked to manually create mappings just to finish setup.
See Creating / updating groups for more info.
What you should expect now
- Monitoring is active: the app is now watching for inventory changes in matching SKU/location groups.
- Syncs happen when relevant inventory changes occur: only affected groups are involved as part of the app's normal behavior.
- You can review the results: you can check your groups and sync activity to confirm everything looks right.
If you want to check activity
If you want reassurance that things are working as expected, check the app's status and recent sync activity. This can help you confirm that the app is active and responding normally.

In short
Setup complete means SKU Stock Sync is now monitoring inventory and ready to respond to changes for matching SKU/location groups. It does not mean the app is performing a full store-wide sync at that exact moment. Your best next step is to run a small shared-SKU test, and get familiar with how syncing works in normal use.
What the app does not do
Understand the boundaries of SKU Stock Sync, including what it does not sync, how groups work, and what the app does instead.
Testing the app
Use this simple post-setup test to confirm SKU Stock Sync is monitoring your store and syncing inventory correctly for variants that share the same SKU.
