Did you figure out if this did the trick? I’m having the same problem and can’t seem to figure out if this app does this or is designed for something else?
Topic summary
Issue: Multiple product pages selling the same physical item don’t share inventory, even with identical SKUs. Shopify doesn’t natively sync duplicate SKUs and now allows creating them without warnings.
Current state: No confirmed Shopify roadmap or built-in fix. Merchants report manual tracking or reliance on third‑party tools.
Suggested solutions:
- Apps: Trunk (real‑time sync for duplicate SKUs; bundling/kitting), Bundles (low cost; works but about a 1‑hour delay when adding stock), Duplicate SKU Sync ($5), ProfitLabs Sync Master GoGo (auto by SKU or manual groups; real‑time across locations/stores; “pay as you grow”; claims support for order edits, Loop Returns, and inventory transfers). Shopify’s own “Shopify Bundles” was suggested, but others note it’s for multi‑SKU bundles, not 1:1 duplicate SKUs.
- Integrations: Zapier workflow shared via link as a DIY alternative.
- External IMS: Some use SkuVault, but duplicate SKU sync within Shopify may still need another solution.
Open questions: Whether POD auto‑fulfillment works with duplicate SKUs is unclear. No confirmation that Shopify is building native support.
Status: Unresolved natively. Practical paths are third‑party apps or Zapier; merchants weigh cost, speed, and compatibility.
