Build one listing all the way through first, then repeat the pattern. Getting one right beats getting twenty half-right. Inventory is what you own. The catalog is what a customer can buy. One listing can draw on stock at several locations, and one unit can be offered as a rental, a sale, or both.

​
Build one listing end to end

Finish a single listing across all six of its tabs: variants, price, limits, and where it sells. Follow Build your first listings for that pass, including the variant and pricing decisions worth making deliberately, and how one SKU backs a rental listing and a resale listing at once.

​
Connect stock to listings

Set the fulfilment rule. A listing’s stock is not a field on the listing. The Variants tab shows an availability number that looks editable but is derived. The binding lives in a fulfilment rule, and a merchant who does not know that cannot add stock to a new SKU.
Use Control what stock a listing draws from and the stock items concept until the dedicated guide lands. It is the highest-priority gap on this step.

​
Group listings the way customers browse

Build collections around how people shop: by activity, by season, by who it is for. Do not mirror your internal categories.
Follow Build a collection until the dedicated guide lands.

​
Decide where each listing sells

Check all three gates before you assume a listing is buyable. Merchants routinely set one and report a bug about the others.
Follow Where a listing sells until the dedicated guide lands.

Done when

  • A listing shows correct availability for a real date.
  • You can add a new SKU to an existing listing and see stock register against it.
  • Someone who has never seen your catalog can find a representative item in two clicks.
  • Everything meant to be on sale is visible where you intend, and nothing else is.
