How Quantity Synchronization Works in Dropast
Dropast maintains near real-time synchronization with Taobao, Tmall, and 1688 for product quantities. This ensures your Shopify store always reflects accurate stock levels, helping prevent overselling and keeping your product availability up to date.
This article explains how quantity sync works and what happens when marketplace stock changes.
🔄 Real-Time Quantity Updates
When a synced product in Taobao, Tmall, or 1688 has a stock update, Dropast automatically:
- Updates the corresponding product quantity in your Shopify store
- Sends a notification if needed, so you’re always aware of inventory changes
✅ Applies only to products imported and synced via Dropast
Example Scenarios
| Marketplace Change | Result in Shopify Store |
|---|---|
