2 stores - shared inventory app?

Hi there,

I’ll detail our requirement out below in the hope that someone knows of an app [or Shopify solution] that can do what we need…

We have two stores that basically sell the same items [one is for members, who pay a little less for the items because they are members]. The bulk of the products we sell are T-shirts and Sweatshirts.

What we’d like to achieve is to have a single, central inventory of the constituent parts that make up the garments that we sell - namely:

Garment Type - T-shirt, Sweatshirt or Hoodie - this may expand but the basic will be this - & Garment Colour - i.e. Navy T-shirt, Grey Sweatshirt, Green Hoodie etc…

Garment Size - this can run from XS through to 5XL but in some colours this is limited and may be XS - 3XL

Print - we use a heat press to print our garments so we need to also keep track of the prints we have in stock

We want to be able to have products on each store that are comprised of these constituent parts. We want to have a single inventory that keeps track of remaining stock and is automatically updated by sales/returns/etc on both sites in real-time. Product pricing will be dealt with separately on each store.

We wondered whether Shopify Bundles could be used initially but couldn’t see any way of having a single inventory that both stores could utilise.

Anyone got any potential solutions to our requirement?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m not aware of any app that offers this kind of inventory sharing. Perhaps a custom solution tailored to your shop might be a better fit?

Hi @Dave_OC ,

I understand your requirements. We have 2 apps on the shopify app store and they both could be used as part of the solution.

What you need is Inventory sync gogo app for inventory syncing of common constituent products across both the stores. As this can do Multi store inventory syncing for common (duplicate) products in real time.

Then for creating bundles from these constituent products you need to use Profit bundles app. This app will track and update inventory of parent bundle products in real time when it observes a new inventory update in the inventory of child products either due to sales/returns/etc.

As this might be a complicated setup, we also offer free 1:1 online google meet with our experts to help you set it up and answer your queries. To book, download the apps, you should see a meet booking link.

Hello @Dave_OC ,

You try apps like Stock Sync, Realtime Stock Sync & Bundling by Trunk or Katana. Check all the features these apps offer and choose the one fits your needs best.
You can also think about custom app development.

Best regards,
Anastasia
