Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStockMeld helps merchants manage listings that share the same physical stock. Link two or more tracked variants at one location, then mirror the latest available quantity across the pool after Shopify sends an inventory update. StockMeld works through Shopify APIs and does not modify storefront theme code. Webhook delivery, API availability, and rate limits can affect synchronization timing.
Shopify does not expose per-location inventory to your theme, so shoppers cannot see what is on the shelf in each store. Zarbo Stock by Store writes the on-hand quantity at every location into a JSON metafield on each variant, kept current as inventory moves through real-time webhooks. Use the metafield the app creates, or point it at one you already have.
