Most platforms assume one stock number per product. B2B reality is messier: stock lives across warehouses, and not every warehouse serves every channel.
How inventory works
- Many warehouses: set low-stock thresholds separately per product and per channel.
- Warehouse-to-channel assignment: the storefront, a marketplace and POS can each see different availability.
- Configurable deduction strategies: decide which warehouse a sale draws from.
A real example: you sell the same product through your storefront and a marketplace, with stock split across three warehouses. For storefront orders you set “nearest warehouse first” because delivery time matters most. For marketplace orders you switch to “highest stock first” because fulfilment certainty matters more than distance. Low-stock thresholds are also set per channel, so a stock warning on Allegro doesn’t have to match the threshold on your storefront.
The result: availability that reflects how you actually fulfil orders, not a single misleading number.
