How to Customize Shopify Store for SKU Visibility and Inventory Synchronization
Ensuring that your Shopify store is fully optimized for displaying SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) and synchronizing inventory with DropCommerce involves understanding the customization settings and configurations available. Below, you’ll find clear guidance to help you address these aspects.
Why Don’t SKUs Appear on Your Shopify Storefront?
SKUs are intended primarily for internal use, such as inventory management and order processing, and they are not displayed on your Shopify storefront by default. This is a built-in feature of Shopify themes. However, if you wish to make SKUs visible to your customers, you can modify your theme to include this information.
How to Make SKUs Visible
To display SKUs on your Shopify storefront:
Navigate to your Shopify admin panel.
Access the Themes section of your account, and click on Customize for your active theme.
Modify the product page layout to include the SKU section. The steps to do this will depend on your specific theme structure.
Save your changes and preview your store to confirm the updates.
If you’re unsure about making these changes, Shopify support can guide you through the process. Please note that DropCommerce support does not include assistance with theme-specific customizations.
Resolving Issues with Item Availability in Shopify
If items from DropCommerce do not appear as available in your Shopify store, the issue may lie in the inventory settings.
Steps to Ensure Inventory Synchronization
Log in to your Shopify account.
Go to Settings > Inventory in the Shopify admin panel.
Confirm that DropCommerce is selected as the inventory source for all relevant products.
Save your changes and refresh your Shopify store interface.
This ensures that Shopify recognizes inventory availability updates from DropCommerce, maintaining seamless synchronization.
