## How inventory sync works

### Two-way

A sale or adjustment on any store moves the matched variant's inventory on the others.

### Paired locations

Each location pairs with exactly one on the other store, so every change lands in one place.

### Unpaired means untouched

Inventory at a location you do not pair stays out of the sync.

### On the record

Every change Bridgeful makes is listed on Activity, with the store, the change and the reason.

FAQ

## Frequently asked questions

### How quickly does inventory sync between stores?

In real time. A sale or adjustment updates the matched variant on the other stores as it happens.

### Do I need the same locations on every store?

No. You pair each location with the one on the other store that holds the same inventory. Locations you do not pair are left out.

### Can I sync inventory without syncing products?

Yes. Inventory, products and collections each have their own switch.

### How are variants matched between stores?

By SKU, then barcode, then handle for a single-variant product with neither. Anything that cannot be matched waits for you to map it, create it, or fix it in Shopify.

### What happens to inventory if I unlink a store?

Syncing stops and both stores keep the inventory levels they show at that moment. Nothing is zeroed.

### How much does it cost?

From $29 a month for one connected store, with every feature on every plan and a 14-day free trial.
