The Challenge of Disparate Shopify Stores
Operating several Shopify stores might seem like a great growth strategy—until the admin work starts piling up. Separate logins, separate inventories, and duplicate product updates can eat up your team’s time and lead to costly mistakes.
If you’ve ever sold out on one store while the others showed stock, you know the pain of disconnected systems.
Unleashed as Your Unified Inventory Hub
Unleashed acts as the command centre for all your stores. With one account, you can track, manage, and fulfil orders across different Shopify channels. No more bouncing between tabs or copying product info from one store to another.
But even better? Add TIDE into the mix, and you bring even greater automation and control to your operations.
TIDE acts as a seamless bridge between your sales channels and back-end systems. It enhances how Unleashed integrates with Shopify by automating channel-specific workflows, syncing customer data, and streamlining reporting—especially useful for B2B businesses handling complex order volumes.
How Unleashed Handles Multiple Shopify Integrations
Connecting Multiple Shopify Channels
Whether you’re running niche sites for different regions or unique brands, Unleashed supports multiple Shopify channels from a single account.

With TIDE, you can further enhance these settings by automating specific workflows per channel, cutting down manual effort significantly.
