Stock Sync Daemon

One source of truth across every sales channel

Keep inventory counts aligned across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, WooCommerce, and Etsy with one tracked source of truth. Best for stores selling the same SKUs across multiple channels and trying to reduce oversells.

PROMPT

Set up inventory syncing across my sales channels. I sell on [list your channels — e.g., Shopify, Amazon FBA, eBay, Etsy]. My primary inventory source is [channel]. Use that as the source of truth, then update the other channels when stock changes. Use webhooks where available and scheduled reconciliation where they are not. Implement safety stock buffers of [number] units per channel. Handle bundle/kit inventory if I sell product bundles. Log every sync event. Alert me if a count goes negative, a sync fails, or an oversell is detected.

How It Works

Your Claw uses one inventory source of truth, then updates other channels

when stock changes. Where platforms support webhooks it can react quickly;

where they do not, it falls back to scheduled pulls and reconciliation.

What You Get

  • Multi-channel inventory syncing from a designated primary source
  • Safety stock buffers so you do not sell the last unit everywhere at once
  • Bundle and kit inventory math (selling a bundle decrements component SKUs)
  • Sync logs so you can audit what changed and when
  • Alerts for negative counts, failed syncs, or suspected oversells

Setup Steps

  1. Connect your sales channels (Shopify API key, Amazon SP-API credentials, etc.)
  2. Choose your primary inventory source
  3. Map shared SKUs and any bundle/component relationships
  4. Define safety stock rules if you want channel-specific reserves
  5. Test with a few low-risk products before turning on full sync

Tips

  • Designate one channel as primary so conflicts resolve cleanly
  • Safety stock buffers help during latency windows and marketplace delays
  • FBA and marketplace inventory often need polling or report-based reconciliation
  • Keep bundle mappings accurate or your counts will drift fast
  • Review the sync log weekly to catch broken mappings early
