How can I switch from owned to dropship inventory for a specific item in Shopify?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

I’m trying to figure out a way for one specific item to have owned inventory, and then when it is sold out, it goes to a Dropship vendor

Example

Item SKU 123456 - I have 5 in stock.
when I hit zero, it pulls from the Dropship fulfillment for the matching SKU

I can see how to do owned inventory across multiple locations I have, but I cannot see how to do multiple locations when one location is third party (drop ship)

is it feasible within Shopify main functionality or is another app required to facilitate, and if so - any recommendations on what app could support .

Thank you!

Hi @Djcarr ,

Since your requirement is too personal, you can go for custom APP.

APP will have feature to map the product id and its variant to your dropship SKU or Product id.

Now APP will watch your inventory level once it hits to zero it will be mapped with dropshipper product id.

Same thing will be happen for your every location and product.

But the issue could be your dropship vendor should have API support.

If interested we can build this APP to facilitate the feature.
