MYOB SYNC FOR SHOPIFY / PRACTICAL GUIDE

Sync MYOB Inventory to Shopify

MYOB Sync sends inventory quantities from MYOB to Shopify. Match each Shopify variant SKU to its MYOB item number, choose the quantity source and destination location, and enable the inventory flow. Multiple-location mapping is included on Pro.

Prepare the product match first

Shopify SKUs and MYOB item numbers must match exactly, including capitalisation. A Shopify variant is a separate item for matching purposes. For example, a variant with SKU TEE-BLUE-M needs the same item number in MYOB; matching only the parent product name is insufficient.

Run Sync Products in the app to import existing records and refresh the match. This initial import does not create products in Shopify or MYOB. Product creation is a separate option, so leave it off if you manage your catalogue manually.

Choose the inventory plan and direction

Free provides manual inventory syncing; paid Shopify plans support scheduled runs every 15 minutes. Pro includes multiple inventory locations. This workflow sends MYOB stock to Shopify; it is not a promise of instant updates or inventory synchronisation in both directions.

Decide which MYOB quantity field should represent sellable stock and which Shopify location should receive it. Review the location mapping as well as the total quantity: the right amount sent to the wrong location can still cause fulfilment problems.

Sync MYOB stock levels to Shopify locations

Enable Sync Inventory from MYOB to send MYOB stock quantities to Shopify. Decide whether you want a combined total in one Shopify location or individual location mappings.

ONE STORE LOCATION

Total MYOB locations

Choose the destination Shopify location and the app product group, which defaults to MYOB AccountRight. Select the MYOB quantity type: Available Quantity, Quantity on Hand or Quantity Committed.

MULTIPLE LOCATIONS · PRO

Map locations individually

Enable Use Multiple Locations and match MYOB locations to Shopify locations. You can select individual locations or map all of them. This flow uses Quantity on Hand at each MYOB location.

Location mapping takes priority.

Multiple Location Mapping overrides the Total MYOB Locations settings and the default order line location. Review both inventory and order behaviour when you change mappings.

For stock that is not updating, first check SKU matching, inventory tracking on the Shopify variant, the destination location and the most recent sync log.

Check your configuration

  • Select one known SKU and compare its MYOB item number with the Shopify variant SKU.
  • Check the source quantity field and MYOB location, then the mapped Shopify location.
  • Confirm that the inventory flow is enabled and the integration is running on the intended schedule.
  • Review the sync log for that SKU if the destination quantity differs from the expected value.
  • Contact support with the SKU, locations, run time and error text if the mismatch remains.

Based on the published MYOB Sync Shopify instructions and Shopify app listing. Screens and available settings can change. For Neto, use the separate Neto integration guide.
