Tips for setting up a Shopify store with Zoho Inventory
1. SKUs are the Primary Key
Zoho Inventory’s primary means of linking Shopify Products to its equivalent categories of Items and Item Groups is through the SKUs. Before syncing any products to Zoho Inventory, ensure that each product variant in the Shopify site has a unique allocated SKU.
2. Product Name in Shopify must be unique
In Zoho Inventory, each product name gets changed to an item group. Zoho Inventory combines its variants into one item group if two product names are identical.

Unlinking is necessary since neglecting to do so before deleting an item from Zoho Inventory would confuse the sync and block further syncs of that item from Shopify.
