Shopify inventory management

Shopify inventory management that covers counts, reorders and purchase orders

Count with the phone in your pocket or a USB scanner, and Shopify updates itself the moment you approve the count. Low stock alerts, reorder suggestions, purchase orders with receiving by scan, and the real cost of what you bought are all built into the same app.

Free plan available. 7-day free trial on paid plans, no credit card required.

Count with what you have

Phone camera, USB scanner, or typed by hand. Count the whole shop or one shelf, in sections, and apply the variance to Shopify in one tap.

Reorder before you run out

Low stock alerts by email and a suggested reorder quantity built from your real supplier lead times, not a generic formula.

Buy it and know what it cost

Purchase orders with receiving by scan, supplier price lists, cost change alerts, weighted average cost and a month end COGS export.

A spreadsheet was never going to keep up

Most Shopify stores start with a spreadsheet, a notebook by the till, or the product page open in twenty browser tabs. None of it holds up once the catalog grows past a shelf you can eyeball.

What a spreadsheet gives you

  • A count that is out of date by the time you finish typing it in
  • No link back to Shopify, so every update is a manual copy and paste
  • No record of what changed, when, or who touched it

What that costs you

  • Wrong counts that show a product in stock when the shelf is empty
  • Stockouts on your best sellers because nobody saw the trend in time
  • Overordering on slow movers because the reorder number was a guess, not a calculation
That is the gap Binly closes. Count with a scan, get warned before you run out, and reorder the quantity your own sales history and supplier lead times actually support, not a number typed into a cell.

Scanned quantity, system quantity, and the difference between them, in one place.

Counts, alerts, reorders, purchase orders and costs, in one app

Everything below runs on the phone or laptop you already have. Nothing needs a login outside Shopify.

Count the shelf

Scan with your phone camera or a USB scanner, the whole shop or one shelf, in sections you choose. The variance report shows what is off in units and dollars, then Shopify updates in one tap.

Get warned, then reorder

Low stock alerts land by email before you run out. Reorder suggestions come from your own sales history and the real lead time each supplier takes, not a generic 14-day guess.

Buy it and know what it cost

Purchase orders with receiving by scan: each scan adds one unit and writes to Shopify once. Supplier price lists, cost change alerts, weighted average cost and a month end COGS export cover the rest.

Three steps, no separate hardware to buy

Start counting in the time it takes to open a browser tab.

1

Start a count

Open Binly from Shopify admin or on your phone. Pick the whole shop, one shelf, one supplier or one collection, and you are ready to scan.

2

Scan with your phone or a USB scanner

Each scan logs a unit and compares it to what Shopify already shows. Receiving by scan works the same way inside a purchase order: one scan, one unit, one write to Shopify.

3

Review, then apply

The variance report shows the difference in units and dollars, line by line. Shopify only updates once you press apply, never before.

Common questions

Either. The camera on your phone reads barcodes on its own, and a USB or Bluetooth scanner works the same way if you already have one. Most stores start with the phone and add a scanner later if they want it.

No. Counts, cost updates and reorder suggestions all wait for you to review them. Shopify only moves once you press apply.

From your own sales history and the real lead time each supplier takes to deliver, plus any minimum order quantity or case size you set. It is not a generic formula applied to every product the same way.

Inside a purchase order, each scan adds one unit and makes one write to Shopify. You can see exactly how many units of each line arrived, even when a delivery is only partly complete.

Yes. Binly tracks weighted average cost from the deliveries you receive, flags cost changes against your own price lists, and builds a month end COGS export from opening stock, purchases and closing stock.
