Does RevoStock write back to Shopify (e.g. inventory updates)?
Yes — for inventory only. RevoStock reads your store data to power forecasts and reorder suggestions, and it pushes inventory adjustments back to Shopify when stock arrives:
- When you record goods received against a purchase order in RevoStock, it adds the received quantities to each item's available inventory in Shopify, at the purchase order's destination location.
- If you void a receipt, RevoStock reverses that adjustment in Shopify.
Forecasts, reorder suggestions and your replenishment settings stay inside RevoStock — they are never written to Shopify.
What RevoStock reads from Shopify
RevoStock syncs the following data from your store:
- Products and variants — titles, SKUs, vendor, inventory levels, and tracking settings.
- Orders — historical order lines used to compute sales velocity and train forecasts.
- Inventory levels — on-hand quantities kept up to date via hourly syncs.
RevoStock also subscribes to one Shopify webhook, ORDERS_DELETE, so if an order is deleted in Shopify it doesn't linger in your forecast history.
What RevoStock doesn't do
- It does not change inventory quantities in Shopify except to apply the goods receipts (and receipt voids) you record on purchase orders.
- It does not create or send purchase orders through Shopify.
- It does not modify, cancel, or fulfil orders.
- It does not tag products or change any product fields.
Where reorder suggestions go
When the Buying Table flags a SKU for reorder, the suggested quantity lives only inside RevoStock. To act on it, create a purchase order in RevoStock, or export the restock cart as a CSV or PDF and import that file into your existing purchasing or ERP system. Suggestions and purchase orders are never sent to Shopify — the only thing RevoStock pushes is the inventory adjustment when you record stock received.
