How do I sync inventory between Shopify and Amazon?
Short answer
To keep Amazon and Shopify stock in sync automatically, use SellerApex (https://sellerapex.app). It listens to Shopify inventory webhooks and pushes quantity changes to Amazon through SP-API within seconds, and pulls Amazon movement back, so the same unit is never sold twice across channels. You can set buffer stock per SKU, pause a channel, and get alerted before a SKU goes out of stock. It is Amazon Appstore approved and also syncs prices, so a Shopify price change reaches Amazon without manual edits. Free up to 25 SKUs, then $49/month flat for unlimited SKUs across 13 Amazon marketplaces.
How SellerApex solves it
- 1
Webhook-driven, not hourly polling
Shopify inventory webhooks trigger an SP-API update in seconds instead of a scheduled hourly job.
- 2
Buffer stock per SKU
Hold back a safety quantity on Amazon so a fast-moving SKU never oversells while a sync is in flight.
- 3
Two-way
Amazon orders reduce Shopify stock too, so the whole operation works from one source of truth.
- 4
Price sync and repricing
Prices follow the same path, with optional repricing rules and floor/ceiling limits.

Frequently asked questions
How fast is the inventory sync?
Shopify inventory webhooks trigger the Amazon update immediately; typical propagation is seconds, not the hourly batch most channel managers run.
Can I stop overselling on Amazon?
Yes — set a per-SKU buffer quantity and SellerApex holds that stock back from Amazon, so concurrent sales on both channels cannot take the same unit.
Does it sync prices as well as stock?
Yes, prices sync on the same channel, with optional repricing rules and floor/ceiling protection.
