Book an introMulti-channel selling without inventory problems
The biggest risk of multi-channel selling is out-of-stock sales: a customer orders on Bol.com while your inventory in Shopify is already gone. That leads to negative reviews, Bol.com sanctions, and lost customers.
Channable's order integration solves this with real-time inventory synchronization. When a product is sold on one channel, the inventory is immediately updated on all other channels. Sell a product on Bol.com, and the inventory in Shopify drops and Amazon is automatically informed.
Channify sets up the two-way synchronization between your Shopify store and all your sales channels via Channable. No more manual inventory updates, no out-of-stock risk.

Frequently asked questions about inventory synchronization
How quickly is inventory synchronized?
Real-time: within seconds of a sale on one channel, inventory is updated on all other channels. During peak moments (Black Friday), a slight delay may occur. The safety margin prevents this from leading to out-of-stock sales.
What does inventory synchronization with Channable cost?
The order integration add-on for Channable starts from €49/month. Setup costs at Channify start from €295. Total: €295 one-time + €49+/month (depending on your Channable plan).
Can I set different inventory per channel?
Yes. With Channable, you can determine per channel what percentage of your inventory is available. For example: 80% on Bol.com, 100% on your own webshop, 50% on Amazon. This way you prioritize your most profitable channels.
What if two customers buy the same product simultaneously?
Channable uses a safety margin (reserve inventory) to prevent race conditions. For example: you have 3 units but show 2 on Bol.com. If two customers buy simultaneously, 1 remains. The margin is configurable per product.
Does this also work with external inventory (FBA, LVB)?
Yes. Channable supports integration with Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Logistiek via Bol.com (LVB). Inventory and orders are synchronized between your external fulfillment partner and Shopify.
How long does the inventory synchronization setup take?
A standard setup with 2-3 marketplaces takes 1-2 weeks. More complex configurations with multiple fulfillment partners or per-channel inventory rules can take 2-4 weeks.
