How to Sync Inventory Between FHU Platform and Shopify

ShipHero will download products once your Shopify store is connected. All products should be created in Shopify and then synced to ShipHero.

  • Start at 0: This will set the ShipHero inventory value of a newly created product to 0, regardless of what is available in the store.

Multiple Warehouses

In addition to controlling the behavior of how the initial inventory value is set, you can also specify which warehouse the products should be created in (all warehouses, or specific warehouses).
