Inventory Management

Optimize your inventory management for smooth Amazon operations with the CedCommerce Amazon Channel App. This section gives you complete control over how your stock is managed and updated between Shopify and Amazon.

Why is Inventory Management Important?

Accurate inventory tracking ensures:
Customers see real-time product availability.
Orders are fulfilled without unexpected stockouts.
Your Amazon listings reflect the latest stock levels from Shopify.

What Can You Do?

1. Enable or Disable Inventory Synchronization

• Navigate to Inventory Settings under Product Settings.
  
  

• Click Enable to sync Shopify inventory with Amazon.
  
  

• Click Disable if you prefer to manage inventory manually.
  
  

2. Continue Selling When Out of Stock

• Shopify allows selling products with zero or negative stock when this setting is enabled.
  
  

• Enable or disable this option for Amazon listings.
  
  

• Useful for pre-orders or items arriving soon.

Efficient Inventory Control

The Efficient Inventory Control setting helps you customize how your products are displayed and managed on Amazon. You can choose from three inventory management options, allowing for a streamlined and strategic selling approach:

1. Threshold-Based Inventory Display
   
   

2. Fixed Inventory Selling
   
   

3. Inventory Allocation for Future Sales
   
   

Note: The selected inventory setting will be applied globally to all products in your inventory.

3. Set Fixed Inventory

• Enter a fixed stock value that remains constant, regardless of actual inventory.
  
  

• Ensures a stable product availability on Amazon.
  
  

• Ideal for drop shippers or sellers with consistent supply chains.
  
  

4. Reserve Inventory for Promotions or Sales Channels

• Hold back a set number of units from Amazon inventory.
  
  

• Helps manage inventory for exclusive promotions or dedicated sales channels.
  
  

• Example: If your total stock is 20 and you reserve 5, only 15 will be available on Amazon.
  
  

5. Set Threshold Inventory

• Set a minimum stock level before a product is marked out of stock on Amazon.
  
  

• Helps prevent overselling when stock is low.
  
  

6. Delete Out-of-Stock Products Automatically

• Automatically remove Amazon listings when a product runs out of stock in Shopify.
  
  

• Prevents customers from placing orders for unavailable items.
  
  

7. Manage Warehouses

• Choose which Shopify warehouse locations sync inventory with Amazon.
  
  

• Useful if you fulfill orders from multiple locations but only want specific warehouses to sync.
  
  

Ensure accurate stock levels, prevent overselling, and streamline your Amazon inventory management.
