This article provides a comprehensive guide on enabling and utilizing the Automatic Stock Updates feature for your Amazon store. Learn how to seamlessly synchronize your product stock levels and ensure accurate availability information across your sales channels.
Automatic Stock Updates for Amazon Stores
The Automatic Stock Updates feature is a powerful tool that simplifies inventory management by automatically synchronizing product stock levels between your store and connected platforms. Previously available for Shopify, this feature is now accessible for Amazon stores, providing merchants with greater control over their inventory and reducing the risk of overselling or displaying outdated stock information.
For Amazon stores, the Automatic Stock Updates feature only supports the US region.
Enabling Automatic Stock Updates
To enable Automatic Stock Updates for your Amazon store, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Access Automatic Stock Updates Settings
Go to your store settings.
Locate and select the "Automatic Stock Updates" option.
You will find a new setting similar to the one available for Shopify stores.
Step 2: Save and Publish
Click "Save" to activate the Automatic Stock Updates settings.
To test the synchronization, publish a product from your inventory. For example, select a T-shirt and publish it to your store.
Once published, the Automatic Stock Updates feature will automatically update the stock levels of the product.
Step 3: Verify Stock Availability
After publishing the product, check its stock status on your Amazon store.
Depending on your actual inventory levels, you may find certain sizes or variants marked as "Out of Stock," indicating that the Automatic Stock Updates feature is working as intended.
