Documentation

Use this task to sell a single product in different pack sizes, keeping available inventory levels synchronized appropriately, storing the "main" inventory level in a product tag (e.g. "inventory:50").

New orders for a pack-sized variant will result in the product's inventory tag being updated, and all pack-sized variants having their available inventory levels re-synced. And, manually updating a product's inventory tag will automatically re-sync variant available inventory levels as well.

The pack size for each variant can be determined by a numeric product option (e.g. "Pack size"), or by metafield.

This task will skip any products that do not have an inventory tag, and will skip any variants ordered that have no pack size information.
