Add Product Once and push to multiple stores?

Hi @user343,

You’re essentially trying to solve two different things here — product distribution across stores and inventory/order centralization — and Shopify handles these a bit differently.

For pushing products from one store (Store A) to others (Store B, C, D), Shopify doesn’t have a true “multi-store publish” feature out of the box. However, you can use the native import/export (CSV) functionality to duplicate products across stores. It’s not fully automated, but it’s reliable and keeps you aligned with Shopify’s structure. Many merchants use Store A as a “master catalog” and periodically export/import to the other stores.

If you’re looking for ongoing inventory sync across duplicate products, this is where a third-party solution can help. Some apps (for example, Inventory Sync GOGO) are designed to keep inventory in sync across multiple stores in near real-time, as long as SKUs are mapped correctly. This can reduce the manual effort significantly once products are set up.

That said, it’s important to separate inventory sync from order syncing.

Inventory syncing across stores is generally stable and widely supported.

Order syncing (i.e., pulling all orders into one main Shopify store) is much more complex and, in practice, often unreliable. While some apps claim to do this, they tend to run into edge cases — for example:

Orders not syncing consistently

Discounts not carrying over correctly

Issues with multi-currency or taxes

Mismatches with store-specific settings

Because of this, many setups that rely heavily on order duplication can become difficult to maintain.

A more stable approach is to let each store handle its own orders, while using inventory sync to keep stock aligned across all storefronts. Shopify’s native order system has a lot of built-in checks and logic, so recreating orders in another store can introduce inconsistencies.
