What you need to know
Inventory integration needs a source of truth. When online and offline sales share stock, updates must account for orders, returns, delayed responses, and corrections.
How to apply it
Map product IDs, decide which system owns stock, set sync frequency, and define retries for failures. Test simultaneous orders and manual adjustments first.
Common mistake to avoid
Starting without product IDs and stock rules creates mismatched records. Reconcile sample products and workflows before migrating.
