Multi Store Inventory
Sumtracker is integrated with several Ecommerce platforms. You can connect these platforms along with multiple Shopify stores. Products from your Shopify store are automatically saved in Sumtracker. Sumtracker automatically syncs data when you add a new product or update existing products on your Shopify store.
All orders on Shopify store are synced in Sumtracker to show you unfulfilled item quantity and reduce inventory when an order is marked as fulfilled. Sumtracker syncs orders periodically to keep everything updated. Sumtracker can detect refunds, cancellation and fulfilment of orders to update the inventory accordingly.
Sumtracker calculates the available inventory by subtracting the booked quantity (unfulfilled quantity) from the physical quantity. The available quantity is updated on the Shopify store. Using this approach you always know how much stock you have in your warehouse at the moment.
Available quantity = Physical - Booked
Sumtracker can be connected to multiple Shopify stores. You can maintain a common inventory for all stores. The same SKU from different products are linked to the same product in Sumtracker.
Bundles Inventory
You are create bundles in Sumtracker for selling multiple items together. For example a Pack of 4 Juices or a t-shirt and jeans combo. Sumtracker calculates the inventory of bundles in real time to update on Shopify. Inventory for a bundle is calculated using the inventory of components. For example the inventory for pack of 4 orange juices is calculated based on the inventory of individual orange juice. If there are 100 units of orange juice, only 25 units of the bundle can be sold online since 100/4 is 25. This calculation is done for bundles with multiple components too and the minimum inventory among all the components is considered as the inventory of the bundle product. Read here for more details.
Bundles can be imported in Sumtracker using excel sheets. This is very useful to create multiple bundle configurations in bulk.
Multiple Locations
In Sumtracker you can maintain inventory for multiple locations. Locations in your Shopify store get automatically created in Sumtracker. You can set fulfilment priority in Sumtracker.
