Stock in step, everywhere
Multichannel inventory sync that never oversells
Sell in more than one place? When something sells in one shop, Bane lowers the stock in your other shops to match, all by itself. No more saying sorry to a customer for something you have already run out of.

The overselling problem, solved quietly
Selling the same stock in a Shopify shop and a WooCommerce site, or across an Ecwid store and a BigCommerce one, is great for reach and terrible for stock-keeping. The moment your last copy sells in one place, every other shop is advertising something you no longer have. Then comes the refund, the apology email and the dent in your seller rating.
Bane watches your connected shops and keeps the numbers matched, by product code (SKU). A sale on one channel lowers the level on the others. You connect each shop once, tick which shops should take part, and Bane does the arithmetic in the background from then on. There is nothing to install and no spreadsheet to maintain.
The stock sync works across Shopify (with a one-click connect flow), WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Ecwid. Bane also connects to Square and Amazon for listing products, though those two do not join the stock sync yet. Whatever key or token you give is kept locked away and only used for the jobs you set up.
Built to be safe with your stock
A sync tool that guesses is worse than no sync tool. Bane is deliberately defensive.
Off until you say so
Sync is off by default. You opt in and choose exactly which of your connected shops take part. Everything else is left alone.
A failed read is never a zero
If a shop does not answer during a cycle, Bane skips it. It never treats a missing answer as empty stock, so a wobbly connection cannot wipe your levels.
Learns before it touches
The first time Bane sees a product it just learns the levels across your shops. It only starts matching numbers once it has a baseline, and it only writes when a shop's figure actually differs.
Everything on one page
The stock page shows every connected shop side by side, matched by SKU, with mismatches flagged, so you can check Bane's work whenever you like.
More than sync: fill and tidy your shops too
Inventory sync is one part of a bigger picture. Bane's robots can also fill your shops in the first place: point one at a supplier's web page and each row becomes a product listing, arriving hidden until you approve it. On most shops, robots can refresh prices on the products you already have, matched by SKU. And the Tidy up page checks a connected shop for the classic slips, missing prices, out-of-stock items, duplicate codes or names, so your catalogue stays clean while the stock stays matched.
It is all set up the same way: tell Banebot what you want in plain words, check its plan, and press go. See the help page for how connecting a shop works, or head to the pricing page to compare Starter, Pro and Business.
Questions people ask
What is multichannel inventory sync?
Multichannel inventory sync keeps your stock levels matched across every shop you sell in. In Bane, when something sells in one connected shop, Bane lowers the stock for that product in your other shops to match, so two customers can never buy your last one. Products are matched by their product code (SKU).
Which shops does Bane sync stock across?
The never-oversell stock sync works across Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Ecwid. You connect each shop once, then choose which of them take part. Bane also connects to Square and Amazon for listing products, though those two do not join the stock sync yet. The Pro plan covers up to 5 connected shops and Business covers up to 20.
How careful is the sync? Could it wipe my stock levels?
Bane's sync is deliberately defensive. It only acts on shops it read successfully in that cycle, so a shop that fails to answer is skipped rather than treated as zero. It only counts products with a real numeric stock figure, it just learns your levels the first time it sees a product (no writes), and it only writes when a shop's number actually differs. It is also off by default: you opt in and pick which shops take part.
Can I see all my stock in one place?
Yes. Bane's stock page shows what you have in each shop side by side, matched by SKU, for the shops Bane can read stock from (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and Ecwid). Anything that does not add up between shops is flagged, so you can spot a mismatch at a glance instead of combing through each shop's admin.
Can Bane also add products to my shops?
Yes. A Bane robot can turn a supplier's web page into product listings in your shop, on a schedule. New products arrive hidden by default so nothing goes live until you have looked it over, and on most shops robots can also update prices on existing products by SKU.
What does inventory sync cost?
The never-oversell sync is part of the Pro plan at £79 a month (up to 5 shops) and the Business plan at £250 a month (up to 20 shops). The Starter plan at £25 a month connects one shop for product listing without sync. You can move between plans or cancel any time.
