What are the inventory tracking requirements?

Updated on Sep 08, 2026

This is the most important technical requirement. All products and variants you list on Common Goods must have inventory tracking enabled in your e-commerce store — set to “track this product’s inventory.” Products or variants set to “Do not track inventory” will not be available for sale on our platform and will not appear in listings.

Before going live, verify every product and every variant in your catalogue to confirm tracking is enabled. Shopify Collective and our direct API sync your inventory automatically in real time once connected.
