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.
3. Unlink items before removing them from Zoho Inventory
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.
4. Quick Two-Way Syncing
Shopify’s inventory gets updated within minutes of any change in Zoho Inventory’s stock, and vice versa. This offers protection against products being sold in large amounts.
5. Sales Orders and Product Syncing are Unidirectional
Users will have to use Shopify to handle all updates of the products that aren’t related to stock, as well as returns and exchanges. Creating sales orders and items in Zoho Inventory won’t be synced to Shopify.
