Catch inventory mismatches between Shopify and WooCommerce

The system compares stock levels across your stores, fixes mismatches, and emails you when something needs attention.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each store platform; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Selling on more than one platform means stock counts drift apart, and you find out about the mismatch only after a customer orders something you do not have. Manually checking both platforms every day is not something anyone has time for.

Who it fits

Retailers selling the same products on both Shopify and WooCommerce who need stock to stay accurate.

How it works

  1. On a schedule or trigger, the system pulls current inventory from both stores
  2. It compares stock levels to find discrepancies
  3. Matching updates are pushed automatically to keep both platforms in sync
  4. Every change is logged in Google Sheets
  5. An email alert goes out if something needs manual attention
What you get

Stock numbers that agree across every store

Shopify and WooCommerce inventory stay matched automatically, with alerts sent whenever something needs your attention.

What you get

Synced stock levels across platforms, a full change log, and email alerts for exceptions.

What you need

A Shopify account, a WooCommerce store, and a Google Workspace account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
