How to set it up?
Square's Inventory can be synced to Bopple by enabling the Sync Item Availability toggle in Bopple.
- Bopple Back Office ➜ Store settings ➜ Integrations
- Select Configure next to Square
- Open Sync settings and enable Sync item availability
Items that had an inventory count (or were set as out-of-stock) prior to enabling the setting will need to trigger a stock movement to be reflected in Bopple.
What is a stock movement?
- For items out-of-stock; simply mark as in-stock, then out-of-stock again
- For items with a count; simply increase or decrease the stock amount, then change it back to the original value. This could occur naturally through selling the item on the POS
Managing Inventory in POS
- Open the Square POS app and tap More
- Select Items ➜ All items
- Select your item
- Scroll down to the Price and inventory section, and select Manage Stock
- Mark your product as sold out, or adjust stock to enter a count
- Tap Done or Save
- Tap Save
If you don't see manage stock, you have already set a stock amount. You can adjust the stock amount to 0 if you need to mark the product out out of stock.
