How to Track Inventory & Stock
By the FLUXLIO team · Updated
Running out of stock on eBay can lead to penalties and unhappy customers. FLUXLIO keeps a close eye on your suppliers' inventory levels.
Beyond automatic monitoring, we provide a 'Suppliers' module to track bulk purchases and local stock.
Automatic Stock Sync
Every 6 hours, FLUXLIO checks if the supplier product is still available. If it goes 'Out of Stock', we immediately update your eBay listing to 0 quantity. When the supplier restocks, we can set it back to your desired level.
The Suppliers Module
- Go to the 'Suppliers' page.
- Click 'Add supplier' for each source you use.
- Click 'Add item' to record a purchase, including price and 'Qty left'.
- Link the item to an imported product. This allows FLUXLIO to track potential profit based on your actual purchase costs.
