How to have shopify track total weight with a product with multiple variants instead being dispersed

is there a way to track the full inventory ounce of a product instead of how much of each variant I have? I pack as I get an order with whatever ounce is chosen and don't have specific variants packed in advance. For example I have available 2oz, 4oz, and 6oz of something. I just want those variants tracked by how many TOTAL ounces I have available, not by how many ounces  of each variant I have.

We could use a workflow similar to this one to automatically adjust the variant levels:

We recently released an app that does this. It can how many oz of a raw material that you have. You connect the raw material to product variants using a “bill of materials”. The bill of materials just defines how many if a material are used to make the product variant.

 

The app will keep your variant inventory in sync with each other after you set it up. It’s called Fusion Inventory. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Hi @MiaMakai1,

 

In Shopify, creating size variants (e.g., 2oz, 4oz, and 6oz) and specifying quantities for each can lead to inaccurate inventory tracking.

To resolve this, you can use the Easify Inventory Sync app. Here's how to use the app to meet your needs 🤗:

  • Create a Base product that reflects your actual inventory (e.g., 300oz). Set this product to Draft mode, available only in Shopify Admin for tracking purposes.

  • Use the app to create Bundle groups that connect the inventory of each size variant to the Base product inventory. For example, since you have 3 sizes, you need to create 3 Bundle groups. Below is an example of the Bundle group "2oz" that connects the 2oz variant with the Base product:

    • Master product: "2oz" size variant
    • Component product: Base product with the quantity per bundle set to 2

Similarly, create Bundle groups for the other size variants.

Expected results:

  • The app will automatically calculate the quantity for each size variant based on the Base product inventory. For example, if the Base product inventory is 300oz, you'll have 150 x "2oz," 75 x "4oz," and 50 x "6oz" available for sale.

  • When any size variant is purchased, the app will deduct the corresponding inventory from the Base product. For example, if a customer buys a "6oz" variant, 6oz will be deducted from the Base inventory. The app will then recalculate the inventory for all variants based on the new Base product inventory, ensuring accurate tracking.

If you're interested and want to try the app, feel free to reach out to the Easify team for a specific setup guide.
