Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYou already created a pack in Shopify. Shared Stock Sync does not create packs. It keeps pack stock honest so you do not oversell kits. With 6 blue tees and 10 pink tees, a pack of one each can sell 6 times. A blue tee sale drops pack stock to 5. A pack sale deducts one of each. Link the pack to each product and quantity needed. Stock updates when inventory changes or a pack sells.
Smart Inventory lets products share the same physical materials instead of treating every Shopify variant as independent stock. Link transfers, blank apparel, packaging, or other components to product variants. The app calculates sellable quantities, synchronizes inventory, processes order edits, cancellations and refunds, and helps prevent shared-material overselling at checkout.
- Pack stock matches how many complete kits you can still make.
- When a pack sells, the products in the kit are deducted.
- When a product sells on its own, pack stock updates immediately.
- See calculated pack stock and whether sync is up to date.
- Link multiple products to shared materials and component stock
- Sync calculated sellable inventory back to Shopify automatically
- Reserve and restore materials for orders, edits, refunds, and cancellations
- Block carts that exceed shared-material availability at checkout
