Supplier Sync App for Shopify

Sell supplier stock without holding the inventory

The SAAS Integrator Supplier Sync App keeps your Shopify catalogue and stock in step with your suppliers. Connect any supplier by live API feed or CSV upload, set their mapping, pricing and inventory rules once — and every import after that already knows exactly what to do. First supplier set up in around 10 minutes.

The administrative cost of manual supplier management

  • Product data entry and updates consume staff time across every supplier catalogue you carry
  • Manual inventory reconciliation is the only thing standing between you and overselling
  • Pricing updates from supplier cost changes mean recalculating margins in spreadsheets
  • Hand-edited product titles, descriptions and images get wiped every time a feed re-runs
  • Sourcing the same product from more than one supplier means juggling stock figures nobody trusts

Supplier Sync App removes the manual layer: suppliers' data flows into Shopify under rules you define once — and the parts of your store you've curated by hand stay exactly as you left them.

How it works

Set it up once. Review and run forever.

Connect your supplier

Add a supplier to your directory and choose how their data arrives — a live API feed with auto-sync, or simple CSV uploads for suppliers without technical capability. One supplier can have multiple connections, each with its own settings.

Set their defaults

A five-step editor captures everything once: field mapping, markup rules, new-product status, inventory location, buffer and protection settings. Every future import starts pre-filled and fast-tracked — and you can still override any setting for a single run.

Review & run

The import wizard opens with your saved configuration loaded. A plain-language summary tells you exactly what will happen before anything runs — then live progress, full results, and a downloadable CSV report when it's done.

Platform capabilities

Everything supplier stock needs to run itself

Multi-supplier sourcing

Multiple suppliers. One SKU. Zero conflict.

Sourcing the same stock from two or three suppliers is normal — and the app is built for it. Give each supplier its own Shopify location, and run two or three feeds into the same SKU, by API or CSV.

You decide which connection controls pricing, which controls images, and which fields update once and are never overridden again. Total stock across all suppliers rolls up in Shopify automatically.

Catalogue automation

Match and map without manual entry

Supplier items match your Shopify products by barcode, then SKU. Map any supplier field to any Shopify field — including dual mappings that send one supplier field to two Shopify targets, like wholesale price to your sell price with markup and to Compare At Price without it.

New products are created automatically; delta sync skips anything unchanged since the last run, so routine re-syncs are fast.

Pricing & margin control

Cost becomes sell price under your rules

Apply one uniform markup, or build advanced rules that price differently by title, SKU, tags, vendor, product type or price range — with AND/OR conditions and tie-breakers when rules overlap.

Snap every price to .99, .95, .50 or .00. A live preview shows price, markup and margin before you commit — no spreadsheets, no recalculation when supplier costs change.

Business continuity by design

Your existing store stays yours

Already selling a product in-store or online? Tell the app not to touch it: existing products keep their titles, images, pricing and settings, and the import simply extends them with an additional Shopify location representing supplier stock. The app introduces new products without overriding current ones — our recommended way to work, and the default with ownership protection on.

An inventory buffer holds back a safety margin, configurable per connection, so Shopify always shows a quantity at or below true stock. Blank supplier values never wipe existing data, and any field with Sync off is never overwritten on re-sync. For suppliers with guaranteed supply, configure products to keep selling at zero stock with a known lead time.

Ownership protection: ONProducts you created stay fully intact — stock-only updates at the supplier location. Products owned by another connection are skipped entirely.
Null protection: ONBlank fields in supplier data are skipped — your existing Shopify content is preserved on every run.
Visibility & lifecycle

See everything. Automate the lifecycle.

Health flags surface suppliers that need attention. Every run logs to Import History with full results — created, updated, skipped, failed — filterable, searchable, and exportable to CSV.

Supplier data expiry automates the end of the lifecycle too: if a product stops appearing in supplier data for a number of days you set — seven, thirty, whatever fits the supplier — the app takes the action you choose. A monthly CSV supplier with fast-moving stock never leaves stale availability on your store.

Use cases

Built for how retailers actually use supplier stock

Extend your range without buying inventory

List a supplier's full catalogue, created as Drafts for your review — or published instantly if the feed is trusted, it's configurable — with stock that stays in step with the supplier and a buffer that guarantees you never oversell. More products live on your store also means a bigger net available catalogue working for your SEO.

Source one product from several suppliers

Three suppliers, three locations, three feeds into the same SKU. Control which feed owns pricing and which owns imagery, and let combined availability do the selling.

Sell unlimited-supply lines with confidence

When a supplier guarantees supply with a known lead time, configure those products to continue selling at zero inventory and keep taking orders.

Merchandise on top of automation

Set fields to update on the first import only, then never again: rewrite titles for SEO, upload better photography, and keep every edit through every re-sync while pricing and stock flow automatically.

Govern margins across a mixed catalogue

40% on accessories, 25% over $500, everything ending in .95 — build it once as rules, preview the margin against real supplier prices, done. When supplier costs change, your sell prices follow automatically.

Better together

Supplier Sync App + Click & Collect

Supplier stock usually comes with a lead time — and that's where our Click & Collect app completes the story. Combine the two and you can set customer expectations automatically: supplier-sourced products show personalised, metafield-driven messaging like "Ready for Click & Collect — allow 2–3 days."

And it's smart about it: if the customer's selected store actually has the item physically in stock, Click & Collect sees that and drops the lead-time message automatically — they get it today.

Together, the two apps let you showcase dramatically more stock with minimal administration, while every product carries the right availability promise.

On the roadmap

Coming soon: Purchase orders

Purchase order generation is on the roadmap — including drop ship and warehouse fulfilment methods, supplier account details, payment terms and lead times. You can configure these defaults per supplier today, with a live PO preview, so you're ready the day it launches. The app works fully without it.

Common Questions

Do my suppliers need an API?
No. Suppliers connect by live API feed or by CSV upload — so you can onboard any supplier, regardless of their technical capability. Every connection carries its own settings.
Can I source the same product from multiple suppliers?
Yes — this is one of the app's strengths. Run two or three supplier feeds into the same SKU, each writing stock to its own Shopify location, and choose which connection controls pricing, images, and every other field.
Will the app touch products I'm already selling in-store or online?
Only as much as you allow. The recommended setup leaves your existing products completely intact — same titles, images, and pricing — and simply adds a supplier stock location alongside them. The app introduces new products without overriding your current ones.
Will imports overwrite the product content I've edited in Shopify?
Not unless you want them to. Per-field sync control means the first import seeds a field from the supplier, and any field with Sync turned off is never touched on re-sync. Blank supplier values are also skipped by default, so they can't clear your existing data.
Can the app oversell my store?
No. The inventory buffer is subtracted before stock is published — configurable per connection — so Shopify always shows a quantity at or below the supplier's true stock. By default, selling stops when stock hits zero; for suppliers with guaranteed supply, you can configure products to continue selling with a known lead time instead.
What happens to products my supplier stops carrying?
Supplier data expiry watches for products that haven't appeared in recent supplier data after a number of days you set — useful when a supplier only sends a CSV every few weeks but stock moves faster than that. When a product expires, the app takes the action you've configured.
Can I override a supplier's saved settings for one import?
Yes. Defaults pre-fill the import wizard, but any value can be changed for a single run without altering the saved configuration.
How long does setup take?
Around 10 minutes for your first supplier. After that, re-syncing opens the wizard with your last configuration loaded — review and run.
