Our integration listens for inventory change triggers from both systems and processes them in the correct sequence to maintain accuracy. Whether inventory is adjusted due to in-store sales, online orders, stock transfers, or manual corrections, the updated quantity is reflected everywhere automatically.

When Lightspeed X Series is designated as the master inventory system, SKUPlugs ensures that all stock updates originate from Vend and flow directly to Shopify. Any in-store sales, stock adjustments, returns, or transfers made in Lightspeed X Series immediately update Shopify stock levels.

When a bundled product is sold on Shopify, SKUPlugs automatically breaks it down into its individual component items and adjusts stock levels in Vend accordingly. This ensures that each underlying product reflects the correct quantity after a bundle sale. Similarly, if a bundle is sold in-store through Vend, Shopify inventory is updated to prevent overselling online.

SKUPlugs also updates order status details in Vend, providing clear visibility for staff and accounting teams. Partial cancellations and refunds are handled carefully, with stock adjustments applied only to affected items.
