Part 1: What is Push Inventory?
The Bigseller Push Inventory feature helps you painlessly manage the stock across multiple stores and warehouses. For example, when Shop 1 and Shop 2 both sell Product A, then Shop 1 sold Product A, then the stock of Product A in Shop 1 and Shop 2 will all be deducted.
Part 2: How to use Push Inventory?
Step1: Add Merchant SKUs on Bigseller.
There are currently 4 ways to create Merchant SKUs. You can select one that best meets your needs.
Click here to know how to add Merchant SKUs.
Step 2: Map Merchant SKUs with Store Products.
You need to map Merchant SKUs with Store SKUs so Bigseller will know which Merchant SKU corresponds to which product.
You can map the relationships one by one or in bulk.

Step 3: Add Inventory Push Rule.
Only when you set an inventory push rule(s), Bigseller will know how to auto-push your stock across multiple shops if the available stock of a certain Merchant SKU changes.
Go to Inventory > Push Rules, click + Add Push Rule.
Enter a Rule Name, select Merchant SKU(s) that you want to push the inventory under this rule, then select Warehouse(s) and Store(s) to push the inventory.
Select Store:
- All stores: When there is a new store, it will be auto added to the push rule, no need to add it manually.
- Some Stores: select stores you want to push.
Select Merchant SKU: Up to 5000 SKUs can be selected for one rule;
You can select merchant SKU one by one, or add merchant SKU by store or merchant SKU category.
Push Qty: You can push real stock / partial stock / virtual stock to the stores.
- If you want to push the real stock, you can set: Total available stock x 100% + 0
- If you want to push partial stock, you can set: Total available stock x 80% + 0
- If you want to push a virtual stock: you can set: Total available stock x 100% + 200, or Total available stock x 150% + 0
About to Be Sold Out (Optional): To avoid overselling caused by many orders in a short period.
- Not Process: When the available stock is 0, push 0 stock to your stores.
- Convert to sold out: when the available stock is lower than xx, push 0 stock to your selected stores, except the store xx.
For example: when the available stock is 9, which is smaller than 10, system will only push stock "9" to the store "Shopee PH", and will push 0 stock to all your other selected stores.
- Convert to pre-order (Shopee Only)
- Enable: when the available stock ≤ xx, system will auto-enable the pre-order feature, and add yy stock based on the available stock.
- Close: when the available stock exceeds x, system will close the pre-order.
For example: According to the settings in the above picture,
when available stock is 5, system will push "5+30" to your Shopee store, and auto enable the Pre-Order feature.
If you stocked in 20 items, the available stock(25) is still lower than 50. The SKU is still available for pre-order and will push "25+30".
If you add another 80, the available stock(105) exceeds the 50 you set, the system will automatically close the pre-order and pushes available stock(105).
Notes
1. The off or change of a rule will only affect future orders. The already-existing orders will still use the old rule;
2. If multiple push rules are matched for a Merchant SKU, the system will only execute the push rule with the highest priority. The smaller the value, the higher the priority.
3. Free plan users cannot use the inventory push function to sync stocks to Tokopedia stores (Basic plan and above VIP level users are not affected).
4. The "Convert to Pre-Order" feature is only available for Shopee stores currently.
5. If the available inventory of the merchant SKU is greater than 1000, the system will push it every 12 hours.
6. If the available inventory of the merchant SKU is less than 1000, the system will push it in real time according to the available inventory changes.
Step 4: Turn on the Inventory Features.
Go to Setting > Inventory Settings, click to turn on the Inventory Features.
Note: You can only use the Push Inventory feature when the Inventory Features switch is on.
After all the above 4 steps, you can go back to Push Inventory, click Push Now. This will trigger the inventory push process immediately.
Then you can wait and check if your store products' stock has been updated. You can also move on to Part 3 to check the inventory push records.
