How to Check Product Monitoring?
With the Product Monitoring feature, you will receive notifications about changes to product SKUs, inventory, and prices. By checking your notifications, you can effectively monitor the status of your supplier products and make necessary adjustments. Manage your notifications in the Notification Center.
Automatic Inventory Update
The Product Monitoring feature notifies you of changes based on your settings. If a product becomes out of stock or unavailable, you can configure your Shopify store to automatically set the product to draft status. Additionally, if a specific product variant is out of stock, you can automate your store to update the corresponding variant’s quantity to zero. This keeps your store accurate and up-to-date with the latest inventory status from your supplier.
When notified of these events, you can take appropriate actions to update your product status:
- Product variant/Supplier SKU has changed: If a product variant is deleted or its SKU or name changes, our system will unlink it from the supplier in the app, allowing you to remap the variant. Check this guide to learn how to update the supplier.
- Product out of stock: If a product is out of stock but still available, the supplier may update the stock number at any time. In this case, our system will not change the stock status in the app, and your product will remain listed.
Automatic Price Update
You can also set up automatic price updates. Whenever suppliers increase their prices by a percentage you choose, your Shopify products can automatically update their prices based on your Pricing rules. Learn more about Pricing rules here.
By utilizing the Product Monitoring feature, you can save time and money, boost your sales, and increase your profits. This is a game-changer for your dropshipping business. Don’t miss the opportunity to elevate your business—try it now and experience the difference!
