Before syncing two Shopify stores, make sure Easify Inventory Sync is installed on both of them.
You will set one store as the Source store and the other as the Destination store, and each has its own setup process.
Start with the steps below based on the store you are configuring.
Source Store Setup #
Step 1: Install the app and Select store type #
When you first open the app, you’ll see the onboarding screen.
Choose Multi-store Sync.
You will then be asked to set the store type. Select Source Store.
This selection cannot be changed later, so make sure this is the correct store to act as your Source.
Step 2: Create your first connection #
Click Create connection.
You’ll be taken to the Connection Details page to configure the connection.
1/ Name your connection
Enter a clear and recognizable name.
Examples:
Main Store → US Store
Store A – Store B
2/ Choose what to sync
You will see all data types that can be shared from this Source store:
- Products
- Inventory and orders
- Collections
- Pages
- Blogs
- Metafields
All sync options are enabled by default. You can turn off anything you don’t want to share.
3/ Save your connection
Click Save.
4/ Copy the connection code
Copy this code and send it to the Destination store.
Step 3: (Optional) Set Approval Requirements #
Before sharing the Connection Code, decide whether you want connections to be:
- Automatically accepted (default), or
- Pending moderation (manual approval)
To change this setting:
- Go to Settings page
- Change “Connection requests” to Pending moderation
When moderation is enabled:
- You’ll receive an in-app and email notification whenever a Destination store uses your code
- The connection becomes active only after you approve it
Destination Store Setup #
Step 1: Install the app and Select store type #
Install Easify Inventory Sync and select Destination Store as the store type.
Step 2: Create your first connection #
Click Create connection.
A popup will ask for the Connection Code provided by the Source store.
Enter the code and click Connect.
The app will validate the code. If valid, you’ll be taken to the Connection Details page.
1/ Review what you will receive
You will see all the data types the Source store has allowed for this connection.
As the Destination store, you can:
- Accept all sync data, or
- Turn off items you don’t want to receive
Important: Set Location Mapping for Inventory Sync
If you plan to sync inventory, map the Source store’s location(s) to your Destination store’s location(s)
2/ Save the connection after mapping
3/ Complete the connection
If the Source store uses automatic approval, the connection becomes active immediately.
If the Source store uses manual approval, the Destination store must wait until the Source approves.
Step 3: Start syncing #
Once the connection is approved, you’ll be asked to either start syncing instantly or sync later.
Tracking Synced Items #
After syncing, both the Source and Destination stores can review synced items anytime in Sync History.
See the Sync activity tracking guide for more details.
