How to check Tracking & Update
Notification
With the Tracking & Update feature, you will get notified about changes to product SKUs, inventory and price. When you check notifications, you can keep track of the status of your supplier products so you can adjust them accordingly. You can view and manage the notifications in the Notification Center, learn more here.
Automatic inventory update
Tracking & Update allows you to be notified about changes based on your settings. If a product becomes out of stock or unavailable on AliExpress, you can configure your Shopify store to set the product to draft status automatically. Additionally, if a specific product variant is out of stock and unavailable, you can automate your store to update the corresponding variant’s quantity to zero. This ensures that your store remains accurate and up-to-date with the latest inventory status from your supplier.
When you are notified of these events, you also can take appropriate action to update your product status:
- Product variant/Supplier SKU has changed: When a product variant is deleted, or its SKU or name is changed, our system will automatically unlink it from the supplier in the app. This allows you to remap the variant and update any new changes from the supplier. Check this guide to learn how to update supplier.
- Product out of stock: If a product is out of stock but still available on AliExpress, the supplier may update the stock number at any time. In such cases, our system will not change the stock status in the app. Your product will remain listed in this situation.
Automatic price update
Another thing you could set is the price. Whenever the suppliers increase their prices to a certain percentage of your choosing, you can set your Shopify products to update the prices based on the Pricing rules automatically. Learn more about Pricing rules here.
By using Tracking & Update 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 this opportunity to take your business to the next level. Try it now and see the difference for yourself!
