Match By Product Name: Use this if the SKU is missing or different, but the product name is the same. Always double-check it matched the right item.
SyncMe Inventory Syncing Guide
What is SyncMe?
Managing multiple online stores often means jumping between dashboards, manually updating inventory, and constantly checking if product listings and orders are aligned across platforms. As your business grows, this process quickly becomes time-consuming and prone to mistakes.
Keep your inventory consistent across all your stores
When you sell on multiple channels, managing stock manually can quickly lead to errors and overselling. Inventory Syncing in SyncMe keeps your product quantities aligned across connected channels.
When the stock of a product changes on one store (for example after an order), SyncMe can automatically update the linked product quantities on the other channels.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to sync inventory for a product, choose how products are matched across channels, and control which product data SyncMe updates.

- Connect at least two channels (syncing requires multiple channels).
- If you haven’t imported your data yet, see this guide: Import Your Data into SyncMe.
- Make sure the same product uses the same SKU across all channels (SKU is the key for linking).
- Decide your syncing behavior in Sync Rules (stock quantity, all product fields....).
🚀 How to sync inventory for a product
Step 1: Open Product List
From the left menu, go to Products → Product List.

Step 4: Choose Product Matching and what to update
In the same window, you will see a Product Matching section. This controls how SyncMe links the product between channels before applying updates.
Recommended matching options:
- Match By Product SKU: Use this when the product already exists on the destination channel with the same SKU. This is the recommended option for accurate linking.
- Create New Product: Use this only if the product does not exist on the destination channel. SyncMe will create it there and then apply the updates you select.
After matching is decided, choose what SyncMe should do under “When a product is found”:
- Update product quantity (recommended for inventory syncing).
- Update shared product fields (optional, depending on your channel).
- Do nothing (useful if you only want to link products without changing data).
Click Start Sync to continue.

Step 5: Confirm the Sync
Review the confirmation window, then click Sync to proceed.
If SyncMe offers AI-generated filling for missing product data, review and verify the result before using it.

- Verify the product now shows the destination channel in the Product List and that stock values look correct.
