Inventory Sync

Inventory Sync Direction

The inventory sync direction must match your product sync direction. Choose how inventory flows between systems:

• Odoo to Shopify: Sync inventory from Odoo to Shopify
• Shopify to Odoo: Sync inventory from Shopify to Odoo

Sync Only Available Inventory

Control whether to sync negative inventory values:

• Disabled: Syncs all inventory values, including negative stock
• Enabled: Syncs only products with positive/available stock in Odoo

When enabled, only products with available inventory will sync to Shopify.

Auto Sync

Enable automatic inventory synchronization:

Sync Modes

Periodic Sync (Default)

• Syncs inventory at scheduled intervals
• Set duration (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day)
• Runs automatically based on your schedule

Instant Sync via Webhooks

• Real-time inventory updates
• Syncs immediately when inventory changes
• Requires base_automation module in Odoo

Instant Sync Setup

When you enable instant sync, the system automatically registers webhooks:

For Odoo to Shopify:

• Webhook registration happens automatically
• You'll see a success message: "Webhook registration completed successfully!"
• Inventory updates sync in real-time when stock changes in Odoo

For Shopify to Odoo:

• Webhooks are registered automatically in the background
• Inventory updates sync in real-time when stock changes in Shopify

How It Works

Odoo to Shopify Sync

1. Periodic Sync:

   • Runs at scheduled intervals
   • Fetches inventory from Odoo
   • Updates Shopify product inventory
   • Respects "Sync Only Available Inventory" setting

2. Instant Sync:

   • Webhook triggers when Odoo inventory changes
   • Immediately updates Shopify inventory
   • Requires base_automation module

Shopify to Odoo Sync

1. Periodic Sync:

   • Runs at scheduled intervals
   • Fetches inventory from Shopify
   • Updates Odoo product inventory

2. Instant Sync:

Manual Inventory Sync

You can manually trigger inventory sync at any time:

Best Practices

1. Match Directions: Keep inventory sync direction same as product sync direction
2. Use Instant Sync: For real-time updates, enable instant sync (requires base_automation module)
3. Filter Stock: Enable "Sync Only Available Inventory" to avoid syncing negative stock
4. Monitor Sync: Check sync logs to ensure inventory updates are working correctly
