How to stop overselling across Shopify and Amazon
Inventory and prices stay in sync across Shopify, Amazon and wholesale. When stock runs low, the agent drafts the supplier reorder.
- Reach it by
- Text
- Slack or Teams
- Who can use it
- The owner and your operations team
- Works in
- Shopify · Amazon Seller Central, with your account registered as a private developer · Your wholesale order system · Your supplier email · QuickBooks or Xero
The problem
You sell the last ten units on Amazon while Shopify still shows twelve. Now you're cancelling orders, and Amazon counts every cancellation against your account.
Reorders happen when someone notices an empty shelf. By then the supplier's lead time means three weeks out of stock on your best seller.
What your agent does
- Sales on every channel
- Wholesale orders reserved
- Your agent keeps one countUpdates every channel after each sale and return
- Low stock caught earlyBased on sales pace and supplier lead time
- Reorder draftedQuantities, supplier and costs
- Owner approves before it's sent
What you get
- One stock count across every channel
- Far fewer cancelled orders from overselling
- Reorders drafted before you run out, not after
Who approves what
Stock counts sync on their own. Price changes and every purchase order to a supplier are read back to the owner or the buyer you name, and wait for a yes.
Common questions
- We already use an inventory app. Why add this?
- If your app keeps counts in sync, keep it. The agent can work alongside it and handle the parts it doesn't, like wholesale reservations and drafting reorders.
- What do I need to set up on Amazon?
- The seller registers as a private developer on their Amazon account, which lets the agent work in your listings with access only you grant. We walk you through it.
- Will it place orders with suppliers on its own?
- Not unless you set it to for specific items. By default it drafts the order and waits for your approval.

Wholesale orders by PDF and email
The agent reads buyer POs in any format, enters them in Shopify or your order system, checks stock, confirms with the buyer and invoices.
Chargebacks
The agent gathers tracking, delivery proof and customer messages for each chargeback and has the response ready, with evidence, before the deadline.
Labels bought, profit per order
When a Shopify order is paid, the agent buys the label on your shipping account, sends tracking and records the label cost against the order.
