Allows to sync the stock quantity of products with the same SKU between two WooCommerce stores.

== Description ==

Inventory Sync for WooCommerce allows you to sync the stock of the products with the same SKUs between two WooCommerce stores.

= Features =

✅ Allows you to not only sync **Stock quantity**, but also **Stock Status** and **Stock Management** checkbox value
✅ Product variations are supported (must have the same SKU as well)
✅ Instantly syncs stock changes when a product is purchased or edited via WordPress or an order is refunded or cancelled
✅ Two-directional product stock sync is supported
✅ Works with both regular WordPress sites and sub-sites within multisite networks

= Pro features =

✅ **An unlimited number** of WooCommerce stores is supported
✅ Allows you to exclude specific products (or only variations within specific products) from the sync
✅ SKU or Slug product connection type (can be helpful when not every product on your store has an SKU, or when they have duplicated SKUs)
✅ Asynchronous syncing (significant performance boost when an order with a lot of products is placed)
✅ REST API requests are packed and sent in batches with the PHP Requests library, which gives another performance boost in every scenario; here is [the benchmark](https://rudrastyh.com/wordpress/send-multiple-rest-api-requests.html#benchmark)
✅ A tool that allows you to push all product stock quantities to a selected store, available in WooCommerce > Status > Tools
✅ WP-CLI commands

== Installation ==

= Automatic Install =

1. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins → Add New
2. Search for "Inventory Sync for WooCommerce"
3. Click "Install Now" under the "Inventory Sync for WooCommerce" plugin
4. Click "Activate Now"

= Manual Install =

1. Download the plugin from the download button on this page
2. Unzip the file, and upload the resulting `inventory-sync-for-woocommerce` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins` directory
3. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Plugins
4. Click "Activate" under the "Inventory Sync for WooCommerce Lite" plugin

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does it work on localhost? =
Yes. The inventory sync is going to work great between localhost websites or from the localhost to a remote site. In that case, you would either need to use application passwords instead of WooCommerce REST API credentials or simply move to the [PRO version](https://rudrastyh.com/plugins/simple-product-stock-sync-for-woocommerce) of the plugin. Do not forget though that in order to create an application password on the localhost you need to set `WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE` to `local` in your `wp-config.php` file.

= Does it support two-directional inventory sync? =
Yes. But in this case you need to install the plugin on both sites and add each one in the plugin settings.

= Can this plugin sync other product information?
This lite version of the plugin can only sync Stock quantity, Stock Status and Stock Management checkbox. In the [pro version](https://rudrastyh.com/plugins/simple-product-stock-sync-for-woocommerce) of the plugin you can also include some other basic product information like prices with a hook (you can find it in the documentation).

However, if you'd like to sync all WooCommerce product information (product images, variations, and so on), take a look at my other plugins which are developed specifically for that purpose:

- [Multisite Product Sync](https://rudrastyh.com/woocommerce/multisite-product-sync.html) for WooCommerce multisite installations
- [Product Sync](https://rudrastyh.com/woocommerce/product-sync-with-multiple-stores.html) for standalone WooCommerce stores

== Screenshots ==
1. Inventory sync happens automatically; you just need to provide the REST API authentication data for standalone stores (or simply select a sub-store for WordPress Multisite). In the plugin settings, you can also choose the connection type and sync method (instant or in the background).
2. To add a sub-site within a WordPress Multisite network, just select it from the dropdown list.
3. Stock status, Stock management and Quantity are the fields that will be synced.
