End-to-end inventory management, built in
Internal inventory tracking
Manage inventory where you already ship. Store product records, track stock by warehouse, and deduct counts automatically as orders ship. You can also track committed inventory so you always know how much is truly available versus already promised to open orders. Clarity helps you manage orders confidently—even on your busiest days.
Complete inventory sync
Stop wasting time with individual updates. Inventory Sync keeps stock levels consistent across supported platforms like Amazon, Shopify, BigCommerce, Etsy, Walmart, Wix, WooCommerce, and more. Decide which sources act as your “truth” and which stores receive updates. Prevent underselling, reduce overselling, and maintain good standing with key marketplaces.
Go beyond inventory tracking
Run your warehouse, not just count it. Lot tracking ties products to batches or expiration dates, with FIFO allocation to ship older lots first and order search by lot for traceability. Serial number tracking follows individual units. Bundles let you sell kits as one product, and case, pack, and pallet quantities match how you buy and store. Transfer stock between warehouses and keep every location accurate, all in one platform.

Manage inventory on the go
Receive and count stock from your phone, so you’re not tethered to a desktop. With Scan to Receive in the mobile app, scan SKUs or UPCs as items arrive, update quantities, locations, costs, lot IDs, and expiration dates, and submit it all in one workflow. Run audits from mobile too, replacing slow, manual counts with scanning as you walk the aisles. Counts update in real time, so your team can start picking the moment new inventory hits the shelf.
Forecast, reorder, and restock—automatically
Always know your next steps with built-in inventory intelligence. Reorder Assist uses your order history to forecast demand and recommend reorder quantities. Set thresholds to get alerts when stock runs low, then create purchase orders with supplier details, costs, and delivery dates—right in ShipStation. Stay ahead of demand, reduce surprises, and keep inventory under control.
Inventory reports for low-stock, audits, and status
See the health of your inventory at a glance. ShipStation’s low-stock, out-of-stock, audit, and status reports surface the SKUs and warehouses that need attention, along with trends that help you plan ahead.
