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.

Unique API Keys for Each Store

Each store connects through its own API key. This keeps data flowing safely and accurately, without risk of cross-channel confusion.

Channel-Specific Configuration

You can customise how each store behaves within Unleashed—pricing, catalogue syncs, fulfilment rules—it’s all configurable.

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

Centralised Inventory Pool

The beauty of this setup? One central inventory feeds all your Shopify storefronts.

Drawing from a Single Stock Source

No more splitting stock between stores. Instead, Unleashed keeps everything in one place, reducing risk and improving flexibility.

Preventing Overselling Across Stores

With real-time updates, you can wave goodbye to overselling and angry customers. TIDE adds another layer of synchronisation, ensuring data flows instantly even during high-volume periods.
