Updating Inventory Across Sales Channels

Inventory can be updated manually using the "Set" function (click here for details) or through the Inventory Only import.

By default, Inventory from all Stock locations is synched to Sales Channels if the Auto-Inventory Update option is turned on for a Sales Channel.

In addition, Agiliron also has the capability to sync inventory from one or more specific stock locations to a specific channel (if auto-inventory updates are turned on) please contact [email protected] to enable this feature.

Note: Except for the POS Channel, inventory updates must be turned on in the channel settings before inventory will update from Agiliron. Inventory is always automatically updated for Direct/POS sales.

To turn on Auto-Inventory Update for a sales channel, navigate to Settings > Channels.

  • Click the "Edit" button on the right side of the screen next to one of the sales channels. In the example below, the eBay channel has been selected.
  • Select the "Auto Inventory Update" checkbox and click "Save".
