Hi @sahrar 👋 Find an inventory sync app on the app store , or service if they are different products with different skus but need to share an inventory pool.

Automation apps like mechanic can address bespoke scenarios:

If doing this because you need tier pricing an alternative is using a quantity-breaks app , or in some cases a bundle-app to manage that.

 

An alternative is if #1 the skus don't actually matter and #2 the total price doesn't change for the different quantities and #3 this is for the online sales channel only then do a theme customization to just add a main product to the cart with the relevant quantity. A variant-quantity customization.

i.e. product A - variantx1 , product A - variantx10 , and product A - variantx100.... when variantx100 is selected then 100 quantites of variantx1 are put in the cart instead of variantx100

 

If you need this type of automation, or theme customization then contact me by my email for services

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

 

Good Luck

Hi @sahrar,

The Easify Inventory Sync app can help you track the inventory of products sold in packs with ease. Here’s how it works 🤗:

  1. Create a Base Product: Start by setting up a Base product (Draft) to track the inventory of single units.
  2. Set Up Bundle Groups: Use the app to create Bundle groups that link your Base product to each pack variant (like 2, 10, 50 units, etc.).
  3. Automatic Updates: The app will automatically adjust the available quantity of each pack based on the inventory of the Base product. Similarly, when a pack is sold, the inventory of the Base product will be updated accordingly.

If you provide more details about your product, I can guide you through the setup process step by step. Alternatively, you can reach out to the Easify team for quick assistance.
