This guide explains how to manage inventory in the 3Dsellers Products Catalog, how inventory sync works across channels, and how to use the Multichannel Inventory Management dashboard and Inventory Logs.
The Products Catalog acts as the central inventory source for all connected channels.

Using the catalog, you can:

📊 Understanding Inventory Quantities
3Dsellers tracks three quantities for each product.
📦 On Hand Qty
Total physical stock available.
🔒 Reserved Qty
Units reserved for pending orders or holds.
🟢 Available Qty
Units available for sale.
Available Qty = On Hand Qty – Reserved Qty
When inventory sync is enabled, Available Qty is typically sent to the sales channel.
🏭 Inventory Types
Inside Inventory Settings, you can choose how inventory is managed.
🏬 Warehouse Inventory
Tracks inventory per warehouse.
You can:
Add multiple warehouses
Set warehouse priority
Enter On Hand Qty per warehouse
Add Bin Locations
Total inventory equals the sum of all warehouses.
📦 Bundles & Kits
Used for bundle or kit products.
Inventory may be calculated based on component products instead of a single stock value.
Most standard products use Warehouse inventory.

⚠️ Important Notes
Catalog Controls Inventory
When Products Catalog inventory management is enabled, warehouse quantities cannot be managed through the Listing Tool.
Inventory must be updated in the Products Catalog, such as:
Edit Product → Inventory
Inventory Management dashboard
CSV inventory updates
Catalog changes then sync to your channels based on the sync settings.
You can check Catalog settings here in the integrations tab: https://app.3dsellers.com/integrations/ebay
Listings Must Be Linked
For automatic updates, the listing must be linked to the catalog product (matching SKU).
Linked listings → update automatically
Unlinked listings → update only if this option is enabled:
Update the products quantity for unlinked listings
If you're unsure how linking works, see:
👉 Understanding Linked and Unlinked Listings in Product Catalog
🛒 Inventory Updates from Received Orders
Choose how orders affect catalog inventory.
Options:
Don't update catalog quantity
Update product quantity in 3Dsellers
Selecting Update product quantity ensures sales reduce catalog stock.
🧩 Common Inventory Sync Use Cases
🔁 Same SKU on eBay and Shopify
Scenario
A product is listed on:
eBay account XYZ
WooCommerce store ABC
Both listings are linked to the same catalog product.
SKU: ABC-123
Catalog Quantity: 10
When the item sells on WooCommerce
Order is received on WooCommerce account ABC
Order is imported into 3Dsellers
Catalog inventory decreases
Catalog: 10 → 9
The catalog sync updates all connected listings
Result:
eBay account XYZ: 9
WooCommerce store ABC: 9
This prevents overselling across channels.
All the quantities changes will be available in the logs:
📦 Manual Catalog Inventory Update
Scenario
You receive new stock and update the catalog.
Catalog: 10 → 20
3Dsellers automatically updates all connected listings:
eBay account XYZ → 20
Shopify store ABC → 20
WooCommerce store DEF → 20
⚠️ Inventory Sync Disabled or Listing Not Linked
Inventory updates from the catalog will only apply to listings that meet both conditions:
Inventory sync is enabled for the channel
The listing is linked to the catalog product (matching SKU)
If either condition is not met, the listing will not receive automatic quantity updates.
Example
The product SKU wce-787-3d is listed on:
eBay account XYZ
Shopify store ABC
Catalog inventory:
13 units
Scenario 1 — Inventory Sync Disabled
Inventory sync is disabled for eBay account XYZ in the channel settings.
If the catalog inventory changes:
Catalog: 13 → 12
Result:
Shopify store ABC → updates to 12
eBay account XYZ → remains 13
Because inventory sync is disabled, 3Dsellers will not send quantity updates to that eBay account.
Scenario 2 — Listing Not Linked
If the eBay listing is not linked to the catalog product, the quantity will also not update automatically.
The listing will only update if the following option is enabled in the channel settings:
Update the products quantity for unlinked listings
Otherwise, the listing will continue using its own quantity.
✔ To ensure inventory stays synchronized across channels:
Enable Update the products quantity on the channel
Make sure the listing is linked to the catalog product (matching SKU)
📜 Inventory Logs
Inventory Logs help you track inventory changes across products and channels.
Access
Products Catalog → Inventory Management → Logs
Logs show:
Product name and SKU
Channel
Event date
Old quantity value
New quantity value
Event
Use filters or search to investigate inventory changes.
✅ Key takeaway
The Products Catalog should be treated as the central inventory source.
Orders → Catalog inventory updates
Catalog → Syncs updated quantity to all channels
This ensures:
accurate stock
consistent listings
reduced overselling
