I have a product that I order from a few suppliers depending on the cost.
Is there a way to receive the product in Stocky without having to go to the product page and change the vendor each time?
Topic summary
Managing a product sourced from multiple suppliers while receiving inventory in Stocky. The core limitation: each product in Shopify can only have one vendor field at a time.
Key points:
- To reflect a different vendor, you must edit the product’s vendor on the product page before receiving in Stocky. There isn’t a way to switch vendors from Stocky without changing the product’s vendor field.
- Products can be associated with multiple suppliers (distinct from the single vendor field). A guide on the differences between vendors and suppliers was provided.
Clarifications:
- Vendor: a single product attribute used across Shopify.
- Suppliers: multiple entities you purchase from; supported for procurement workflows.
Outcome and next steps:
- No built-in solution to assign two vendors to one product; manual vendor changes remain necessary.
- Reference provided for understanding workflows via the vendor vs supplier guide.
Status: Answer provided; discussion open for further questions.
Hey, @Merkaba .
Thank you for posting this question.
As the products can only have one vendor, you would need to go to the product page to change the vendors. However, products can have multiple suppliers. If you’d like to learn more, then we’ve got a guide on that here: Differences between vendors and suppliers.
If you have any other questions on this topic, then don’t hesitate to let us know.
