Sync stock

Setup time: 1 minute to enable, prevents overselling automatically

Why stock sync matters

Without stock sync, you risk overselling. When someone buys on Bol.com, your WooCommerce inventory will not update automatically unless BridgeSync is configured correctly. Stock synchronisation keeps the available quantity aligned across both platforms, helping you avoid cancelled orders and poor reviews.

Option 1: Enable during Setup Wizard

During initial setup, enable stock sync in Step 3: Synchronisation:

  1. Enable the Stock synchronisation (Fulfilment By Bol / Fulfilment By Retailer) toggle
  2. Continue with the remaining wizard steps

Enable stock synchronisation during Step 3 of the Setup Wizard

Option 2: Enable in Settings

Already completed the wizard? Enable stock sync anytime:

  1. Go to Bol.com connector → Settings in WordPress
  2. Scroll down to the Synchronisation settings section
  3. Check the Stock synchronisation checkbox
BridgeSync Settings page showing Synchronisation settings section with Stock synchronisation checkbox enabled to synchronise product stock from WooCommerce to Bol.com for FBR orders
Enable stock synchronisation under Bol.com connector → Settings

Done! BridgeSync now sends your WooCommerce stock levels to Bol.com automatically at every sync interval. Your Bol.com listings will always show accurate availability.

Note: Stock sync applies to FBR (Fulfilment by Retailer) orders where you dispatch products yourself. For FBB (Fulfilment by Bol) products, Bol.com manages the stock in its own warehouse.

Ensure WooCommerce tracks inventory for your products

BridgeSync can only sync stock that WooCommerce is tracking. Make sure stock management is enabled for your products:

For simple products:

  1. Go to Products → All Products and edit any product you sell on Bol.com
  2. Scroll to Product data and click the Inventory tab
  3. Enable Track stock quantity
  4. Enter your current Stock quantity
  5. Click Update to save

For variable products:

  1. Open the variable product and go to the Variations tab
  2. Expand each variation (e.g. "Red - Size M")
  3. Enable Manage stock? for each variation individually
  4. Enter the stock quantity for each variation
  5. Click Save changes

How stock sync works

Once enabled, BridgeSync syncs stock in one direction:

  • WooCommerce → Bol.com: Your WooCommerce stock levels are sent to Bol.com at every sync interval
  • Order imports: When a Bol.com order is imported, WooCommerce stock is reduced automatically (standard WooCommerce behaviour)
  • Next sync: The updated WooCommerce stock is then synced back to Bol.com

This means WooCommerce remains your single source of truth for inventory. Make all stock adjustments in WooCommerce.

Verify stock is syncing correctly

  1. Note a product's stock quantity in WooCommerce
  2. Wait for the next sync interval (check Latest synchronisation in Settings)
  3. Log into partner.bol.com
  4. Check the same product's stock in your Bol.com seller account
  5. Verify the quantities match

Tip: For immediate stock updates on individual products, use the Synchronise changes immediately button on the product's BridgeSync tab.
