Shopify inventory adjustment scans

Scan product SKUs for cycle counts and stock corrections, then send quantities to middleware that updates Shopify inventory and optional WMS or Zoho-style systems.

Barcode data capture for stock counts

Inventory adjustment workflow

Bring warehouse count discipline to Shopify without a native WMS app.

  1. 1

    Scan SKU barcode

    Operator scans product or bin labels during cycle count.

  2. 2

    Enter or confirm quantity

    Your workflow or receiver captures count context alongside the scan.

  3. 3

    POST to inventory API

    Middleware adjusts Shopify inventory levels or location quantities.

  4. 4

    Sync WMS if needed

    Optional second endpoint updates SkuVault, Zoho Inventory, or ERP stock.

Example integration

Similar to multi-channel inventory tools - Scan2Flow is the scan input only:

  1. Configure pattern rules for SKU formats you stock in Shopify.
  2. Webhook maps SKU to Shopify InventoryLevel adjust API call.
  3. Log who scanned and when in your middleware for audit.
  4. Link to WMS cycle count module if warehouse is system of record.

FAQ

Does Scan2Flow store inventory?

No. Scan2Flow routes scan values. Shopify or your WMS remains the inventory system of record.

Can this replace Zoho Inventory scanning?

Scan2Flow can feed the same APIs or webhooks Zoho accepts when you configure middleware. It is not a full inventory platform.
