Inventory management

Through this channel, you may also edit some inventory management parameters supported by Shopify (by adding them to the connector):

• inventory_policy: defines whether customers can place orders when the item is not in Stock. This field should be matched with a text-type field with the words:
  • “Deny”: when customers can't place orders for products that are out of Stock.
  • “Continue”: when customers can place orders for products that are in Stock.
• tracked: defines whether an item's inventory should be tracked or not. This field should be matched with a text-type field with the following values:
  • Shopify: if inventory is tracked through the Shopify admin. This value is needed to send stock.
  • null: If inventory tracking is not active (this option is only possible when “inventory_quantity” is not sent by the channel).

You can expand the information related to this by clicking on this link Managing Inventory.

Warning: To map the 3 fields described above, you must have sent “inventory_quantity” filled in for a first initial sync, at least. Later, you can manage stock differently. If “inventory_quantity” is mapped, “tracked” mapped with “Shopify” value is mandatory as well.

Note: to overwrite stock when updating, be sure overwriting is activated "Yes" on the Parameters tab in Sales Layer connector.
