How can I track inventory and income from external stores on Shopify?

Topic summary

Main issue: A merchant has products placed in two external retail stores that they do not own and wants to track both inventory movement and income from those locations within Shopify.

Key needs:

  • Monitor stock levels as items are sent to and sold at each outside store.
  • Record sales revenue associated with each external location inside Shopify.

Context/constraints: The stores are third-party locations, not owned by the merchant, implying potential limitations in direct POS integration or control.

Current status: No solutions, tools, or workflows have been proposed in the thread. No decisions or action items identified.

Outcome: Unresolved/open question seeking methods or setups (e.g., locations, POS, apps, or manual tracking) to manage external-store inventory and income in Shopify.

I have 2 outside stores that my products are displayed at. These stores are not my stores. Is there something I can set up to where I can track the inventory and income that comes in and out of that store on shopify?
