AfterShip Feed's Inventory Sync settings allow you to manage how you would like to sync inventory quantities from your eCommerce platform to your product listings on TikTok Shop. These settings are particularly designed to help you counter the events of overselling.
To configure the inventory sync settings,
Navigate to Settings > Channel settings in the AfterShip Feed admin.
Enable Inventory Sync by shifting the toggle to the right.
Under Inventory sync settings you can configure the following rules.
Quantity: This represents a percentage (%) of your eCommerce platform's available inventory to be synced to TikTok Shop listings.
If you have set the Quantity should be 90% of the available inventory and the available inventory is 100, the quantity on TikTok Shop will be shown as 90 (90% of 100)
Out-of-stock threshold: When a product's available inventory drops to the configured threshold value, its quantity on TikTok Shop will be 0.
Apply the Continue selling when out of stock setting from {eCommerce_platform} : This option represents that when a product on your eCommerce platform is set to “Continue selling when out of stock”, the threshold value rules will be overridden. The quantity on the TikTok Shop will be shown as 99,999.
This option is not available for Amazon and Wix.
Amazon: Amazon does not provide configurable options for this. Therefore, Feed will consistently synchronize the actual inventory from Amazon to TTS.
Wix: When merchants enable backorders on Wix, the platform's policy sets actual inventory to 0. Consequently, Feed will adhere to the previous rule and sync 99,999 to TTS.

The choice between synchronizing all active warehouse locations or specific active locations in Shopify determines how much quantity of an item is available for sale on TikTok Shop.
You can choose between
All active warehouse locations of Shopify: This implies that all warehouse locations that are active within Shopify contribute to the inventory synchronization on TikTok Shop.
Specific active warehouse locations: Alternatively, merchants can choose specific warehouse locations whose inventory they want to synchronize with TikTok Shop. Shopify provides flexibility in selecting which warehouse locations are active and therefore eligible for inventory synchronization with TikTok Shop.
