Find this setting
Open Inventory Management in Order Editing. You can also open Inventory management from the Mintsoft integration page. Select Global settings or a location to change its settings.
Overselling Protection
Open Overselling Protection from Global settings. Select Another app updates my Shopify inventory numbers.
Select Mintsoft or Custom as the inventory management app. Connect Mintsoft with API credentials to use its free-stock number. Select Custom when another app updates Shopify inventory and you want Order Editing to use Shopify's available inventory number instead.
Order Editing checks every SKU on a new order. If units sold during that order's editing window reach 90% of the selected inventory provider's available stock for any SKU, Order Editing closes editing for that order immediately. The threshold applies to all products by default.
For shared inventory, use the Multiple stores card. On the flagship store, select This is the flagship store that sells the most inventory. On a regional store, select This is a regional store, then enter the flagship store's myshopify.com domain. Enable overselling protection on every store that shares inventory. Connected stores contribute sales of the same SKU to a shared count, even when protection is disabled on one of those stores. Without a flagship domain, only your store's orders count.
Counts use original units ordered in minute buckets. The order being checked never counts toward its own earlier sales, because its whole creation minute is excluded. Cancellations, refunds and later edits do not reduce the count. Collection starts when you enable protection or join an inventory organization; earlier sales are not backfilled. Delayed order notifications can temporarily undercount sales. If the selected inventory provider cannot return stock for a SKU, Order Editing does not shorten the editing window.
In the Editing Rules block on a Shopify order, inspect units sold, Mintsoft available stock, the 90% threshold, window, and verdict for each SKU. The diagnostic excludes the order's entire creation minute. Use Previous SKUs and Next SKUs for longer lists.
Location access
Use Allow order editing for this location to control editing for orders fulfilled there. Disabled locations are excluded from the location priority list. Units-sold protection applies across locations.
Inventory allocation
Mode | Behaviour |
|---|---|
Default Shopify behaviour | Uses Shopify's normal inventory allocation and routing. |
Allow products from any location | Allows products from any enabled location. |
Prevent split shipments | Limits additions to products that can be fulfilled from the original order's location. |
Every location where order editing is allowed needs an allocation method.
Minimum inventory level
In Overselling Protection, select a location to set its stock buffer. The control starts at 1. A product at or below the configured level is not offered for post-purchase addition from that location.
For example, with a minimum level of 3, a variant with 3 units remaining is excluded. It becomes eligible again when available inventory rises above 3.
If sales data is unavailable, the inventory-risk check reports an error instead of substituting a stock estimate.
Unpaid inventory protection
The maximum unpaid inventory multiplier limits how many units can be reserved across unpaid edited orders. Lower values protect scarce inventory; higher values allow more concurrent additions for products with reliable supply.
Location priority
Drag locations into the order Order Editing should prefer when more than one enabled location can supply the product. This priority applies to products added during editing and does not replace Shopify's routing for the original order.
Global controls
- Split-shipment reduction moves items between warehouses so they can ship together.
- Inventory overselling protection appears when Merge fulfillment orders by location is enabled and checks stock before moving order items to another location.
- Global inventory protection closes editing early for scarce SKUs across all locations.
- Merge fulfillment orders by location combines fulfillment orders that ship from the same location.
- Auto-fulfill digital products fulfills non-shipping items after Editing Time ends and Order Editing releases its holds.
Check the allocation configuration
Use an existing eligible order and search for a product stocked at the configured locations. Confirm the product appears only when an enabled location has inventory above its minimum level and the allocation mode allows it.
