FAQs
Shopify POS runs selling. Stok.ly runs the inventory operation behind it: multi-location inventory accuracy, audit trail movements, replenishment, transfers and WMS execution—while keeping Shopify and Shopify Plus online channels synchronised.

This page is for Shopify merchants using Shopify POS in-store and Shopify/Shopify Plus online who are scaling into operational complexity:
multiple locations, warehouses, higher SKU counts, frequent receipts, and increasing fulfilment volume.
Shopify is a commerce platform. Multi-location retail is an inventory execution problem. The cracks typically appear in day-to-day operations:
transfers, replenishment discipline, warehouse scanning workflows, and the integrity of audit trails across locations.
The moment inventory moves between stores and warehouses, you need an audit trail of every movement—receipts, adjustments, transfers and fulfilment.
Without this, “available stock” becomes an estimate rather than a control system.
Returns and exchanges are operationally complex when inventory, locations, and channels are involved.
If return workflows do not update inventory consistently, accuracy degrades quickly.
Store replenishment and warehouse-to-store transfers often become manual unless the system can propose actions using policies and demand signals.

| Requirement | What to validate | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify multi-location mapping | How Shopify locations map to operational stock locations (stores/warehouses) and how changes are handled. | Prevents location mismatches and availability errors. |
| Audit trail by SKU and location | Full history of receipts, transfers, adjustments and fulfilment movements. | Makes inventory trustworthy and accountable. |
| Returns and exchanges | How returns/exchanges update inventory and order status across POS and online. | Stops reconciliation work and inventory drift. |
| Transfers end-to-end | Create → pick → ship → receive → reconcile, with exceptions and partials. | Transfers are daily ops in multi-location retail. |
| WMS execution | Receiving, putaway, bin moves, pick/pack by scan; exception handling. | Accuracy depends on warehouse discipline. |
| Planning and automation | Forecasting, PO proposals, replenishment, balancing and constraints. | Reduces manual planning and improves availability. |
