Shopify stock transfer scanning

Scan product SKUs to move inventory between Shopify locations. Scan2Flow captures the barcode; your middleware calls InventoryLevel or transfer APIs and logs the audit trail.

Multi-location digital data capture

Stock transfer workflow

Inspired by App Store transfer tools - implemented through your automation layer, not a locked Shopify UI.

  1. 1

    Scan SKU at source

    Operator scans the product barcode at the sending location on a phone or handheld.

  2. 2

    Confirm quantity

    Your receiver or workflow captures how many units to move.

  3. 3

    POST transfer event

    Scan2Flow sends SKU, quantity, and location context to your webhook.

  4. 4

    Update both locations

    Middleware adjusts Shopify inventory at source and destination, optionally syncing WMS.

Example integration

Pair browser capture with Make or custom middleware that owns Shopify credentials:

  1. Map SKU scans to Shopify inventory item IDs in middleware.
  2. On scan, decrement source location and increment destination via Admin API.
  3. Log staff, timestamp, and reason code in your audit database.
  4. Optional: notify Shopify Flow when transfer completes.

FAQ

Does Scan2Flow move inventory in Shopify?

Scan2Flow sends the scanned value. Your middleware or Admin API integration performs the location transfer.

How is this different from syncX or EasyScan transfer?

Those apps run inside Shopify Admin. Scan2Flow is browser capture that can also fan out to WMS or ERP in the same webhook.
