Inventory + Production Management for Shopify Brands That Make What They Sell
Sync orders automatically, forecast inventory demand, and never oversell — all from one place.
Why Shopify's Native Inventory Tools Aren't Enough for Brands That Manufacture
Shopify is built for selling. If you also make what you sell, you need a system that handles production — not just the storefront.
Shopify shows stock you don't actually have. Customers place orders, payment clears — then you have to cancel and issue refunds. Every oversell is a lost customer and a damaged reputation that spreadsheets and manual updates can't prevent.
Every Shopify order means someone manually checking inventory, updating a spreadsheet, and adjusting the production plan. That's hours of admin per week — time that compounds as order volume grows and errors multiply.
You're guessing how much to make based on gut feel. Make too little and you're sold out on peak days. Make too much and you're sitting on dead stock that ties up cash. There's no middle ground without real forecasting data.
How the Shopify Sync Works
From store connection to AI-powered reorder advice — five steps, fully automated. See the full Shopify integration setup for connection details.
Connect Your Shopify Store
OAuth integration — no code required. Authorise Nstock in Shopify in under 2 minutes.
Orders Import Automatically
Every Shopify order flows into Nstock and creates production requirements based on your BOMs.
Inventory Syncs Back in Real-Time
When inventory changes in Nstock — through production runs or stock adjustments — levels push back to Shopify automatically.
AI Forecasts Your Demand
Nstock analyses order velocity and historical trends to predict what you'll need to make and when.
Reorder Advisor Tells You What to Make
Get specific recommendations: which SKUs to produce, how many units, and when — based on actual demand signals.
Built for Shopify Brands That Manufacture
Every feature is designed around the real challenges of running a DTC brand that makes its own products.
Stock levels push to Shopify automatically whenever inventory changes. No manual exports, no spreadsheet updates — your Shopify store always reflects reality.
Shopify orders automatically create production requirements in Nstock based on each product's bill of materials. Go from order received to production queued without lifting a finger.
Predict what will sell based on your actual order history, seasonal trends, and velocity patterns. Plan production runs ahead of demand instead of reacting to stockouts.
Reserve inventory against open Shopify orders before fulfilment. Available stock reflects what's genuinely available — not what's already committed to waiting customers.
Define exactly what goes into each product. Run production against raw material stock, auto-decrement inputs, and update finished goods — all in one flow.
Calculate the true cost of every SKU sold on Shopify — raw materials, labour, packaging, overhead. Know your real margin, not a rough estimate.

Who Nstock Is Built For
If your Shopify brand manufactures its own products, Nstock fits the way your operation runs. Amazon sellers overlap heavily with DTC brands — if you also sell on Amazon, Nstock's Amazon integration syncs FBA and FBM orders alongside Shopify, so multi-channel inventory and costing stay in one system. And if ShipStation handles your fulfillment, Nstock's ShipStation integration pulls tracking numbers and shipped status back onto the matching orders automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Nstock reserves inventory against open Shopify orders before fulfilment, so the stock level shown on your storefront reflects what is genuinely available — not what is already committed to a waiting customer. Inventory changes in Nstock push back to Shopify in real time, keeping both systems in sync.
Nstock supports both models. For made-to-stock products, AI demand forecasting and the reorder advisor tell you what to produce ahead of demand. For made-to-order products, Shopify orders automatically create production requirements based on each product's bill of materials, so nothing is manually queued.
Nstock calculates the true cost of every SKU sold on Shopify — raw materials, labour, packaging, and overhead — automatically from your BOMs and production runs. That gives you a real per-SKU margin instead of a rough estimate, so pricing and promotion decisions are based on actual numbers.
