Consolidated Inventory

What is consolidated inventory and why does HotWax Commerce send consolidated inventory to Shopify?

HotWax Commerce sends consolidated inventory into Shopify to ensure that the inventory counts of all products available for sale on Shopify are aggregated from all storage locations, such as stores and warehouses. This is particularly important for retailers using Shopify eCommerce and third-party Point of Sale systems, where only one Location is created on Shopify to aggregate the inventory counts.
This approach allows for a unified view of inventory availability across all channels, supporting various business scenarios and ensuring that Shopify reflects the most accurate and up-to-date inventory information.
