Managing Inventory location by selecting main location

The inventory location or warehouse setup is located in the smart settings of the Quantity Field. You can select the main location to update the inventory or stock.Is it possible to synchronize inventory across multiple locations for pick-up location purposes?



1. Location


This shows the list of inventory locations available in your store. You can use this to update your products to a specific location.


  • One Location Per Feed: While syncX: Stock Sync supports multiple locations, each individual feed can only update one location at a time. It cannot update multiple Shopify locations within the same feed.
  • Isolated Updates: Stock Sync can update inventory exclusively for your dedicated Shopify location without affecting quantities in any other locations. As long as your feed is mapped to a specific location (e.g., "DSZ SyncX"), only that specific location will be updated.


Note: Please ensure your locations are manually created inside Shopify first before attempting to update them via Stock Sync.

For example: To update the products for the 123 location, select "123" from the dropdown menu.



2. Auto add stock to location if not there (✔️  Update)


By default, Stock Sync will auto add product stock to a location even if the product was not stocked in that location. 


Disabling it, Stock Sync would not add the product to the location where it was not stocked. 



For example: If product A in the feed is not stocked on the location London. By default, product A will be added to location London with the quantity from the feed.


3. Important note about changing inventory locations


Changing the location in a feed updates inventory for the selected location only. It does not remove or move existing inventory from other locations.


If you need to move inventory from one location to another, you must:


  • Run a feed to update the old location and set its quantity to 0.
  • Then run or re-enable the feed for the new location to set the correct quantities.


This ensures inventory does not remain duplicated across multiple locations.


Additional note: If inventory continues to appear in the default location, it is because Stock Sync only updates the selected location and does not automatically clear quantities from the default or any other location. A separate update is required to set the unwanted location’s quantity to 0.
