Configure Inventory Sync Settings

ShipStation's Inventory Sync feature eliminates the need for manual inventory updates. It also ensures your inventory levels are always accurate and up-to-date. Once you have activated Inventory Sync in the Add-On section of your account settings, you can easily manage your inventory across multiple platforms. You'll also save time and reduce the risk of errors.

Settings for Inventory Sync

To support your unique needs with syncing your inventory, we have added additional settings you can configure to adjust how your stock counts sync.

Minimum and Maximum Quantity Sync Counts

Set a Minimum Quantity: Enable this setting so that ShipStation will not sync a stock count below your set minimum quantity. For example, if you set this count to 5 and your inventory falls to 4, we will still sync 5 to this target.

Set a Maximum Quantity: Enable this setting so that ShipStation will not sync a stock count above your set maximum quantity. For example, if you set this count to 100 and your inventory is 150, we will still sync 100 to this target.

Set Minimum and Maximum Sync Counts

Follow these steps to set your Minimum and Maximum sync counts:

  1. Go to Settings > Inventory Management > Inventory Sync.

  2. Select the Actions menu Actions menu next to your desired Target.
