Inter-account stock sync
You can use the inter-account stock sync app to automatically sync stock for products/variations on different ShopWired accounts where the same SKU code is used.
The app works using:
- A
controlleraccount, which is the ShopWired account where stock adjustments are made (e.g. when you receive a new delivery of stock) - One or more
replicaaccounts, which are ShopWired accounts that receive stock updates from thecontrolleraccount
Stock levels for matching SKUs are adjusted on the controller account when:
- An order is created on a replica account
Stock levels for matching SKUs are adjusted on the replica account(s) when:
- A SKU's quantity has been edited on the controller account when editing a product
- A SKU's quantity has been edited on the controller account using the page
- A is completed
- A is created on the controller account or another replica account

Initial stock sync
Initial stock sync
The app will not perform an initial stock sync once you configure a replica account within the app. You will therefore need to perform a manual initial stock sync:
- Log in to the
controlleraccount -
- Do not make any changes to the file
- Log out of the
controlleraccount - Log in to the
replicaaccount - you downloaded from the controller account
- Wait while the import processes
- Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 on each replica account
