Why Are Imported Product Quantities Set to 200?

When importing products from Taobao, Tmall, or 1688 using Dropast, you might notice that the stock quantity is automatically set to 200. This is a standard placeholder value used to ensure your listings remain active and purchasable — even when exact inventory data is not provided by the seller.

🔢 Understanding Default Quantities

Why 200?

Many sellers on marketplaces like Taobao, Tmall, and 1688 do not specify actual stock quantities in their back-office systems. In these cases, Dropast automatically assigns a default quantity of 200 to ensure:

• Your product listing remains functional and active
• Your store doesn’t display zero or out-of-stock items unnecessarily

🔄 Dynamic Quantity Updates

Real-Time Adjustments

If the seller later updates the product with a specific stock quantity, Dropast will:

1. Detect the new quantity
2. Automatically update the stock level in both your Dropast dashboard and your Shopify store

This ensures your store reflects the most accurate stock availability whenever the information becomes available.
