See every featureSimpleSync is very useful if you're selling different products that are physically the same. SimpleSync keeps the inventory of these items in sync. SimpleSync also helps you sell more when you're selling a unisex product. You're going to sell more items if you focus your product pages on men and women separately. Make two products in the Shopify admin, give them the same SKU and you're done!
A football club sells one blank jersey in size M and lists it 24 times, one per player name and number. Counted separately, 30 jerseys look like 720. Stock Sorted links those listings to one shared count: sell any player's jersey and every other listing drops too. Use the variants you already have. No bundles to build, no SKUs to rename. Ratios handle pack sizes and weights.
- SimpleSync keeps the inventory in sync fast for items that share an SKU.
- Sell an item through multiple product pages.
- Inventory tracking for simple bundles where one item has tracked inventory.
- Automatic inventory sync across all linked variants when any one sells
- Consumption ratios for pack sizes, weight-based products, and bundles
- Updates within seconds of each sale, not on a long polling cycle
- Two orders at the same time? No double-deductions, no overselling
