Xero Sync allows you to import inventory from your active products from Xero to your Shopify store.
This article explains what happens when you import your inventory and shows you how to perform an import.
Functionality
When importing your inventory from Xero to Shopify, the inventory levels on all active mapped products in your Shopify store are updated to the inventory levels set in Xero.
Example
If a product in Xero has a quantity of 55 and is mapped to a product in Shopify with a quantity of 20, when an inventory import is performed in Xero Sync, the quantity for that product will be updated to 55 in Shopify as well.
Important considerations
Products in Shopify that are not tracking inventory will be updated to track inventory if the corresponding mapped product in Xero is set to track inventory and an import is executed.
Setup
- Open Xero Sync.
- From the Xero Sync home page, scroll down to the Import Inventory Levels from Xero Products section.
- Click Import Inventory.
- Click Import Inventory again.
Once the above steps are completed, Xero Sync begins importing your inventory for mapped products. The amount of time it takes depends on the amount of products with inventory that are being updated. A green progress bar is displayed to let you know the status of your import.
