Supplier Mode
Supplier Mode
Use Nventory as a supplier to list your products for sellers to distribute.
In Supplier Mode, your WooCommerce store acts as the product source. Your products become available on the Nventory platform for sellers to discover, select, and sell on their own stores.

└─────────────────┘- You connect your WooCommerce store to Nventory as a supplier
- Your products are synced to the Nventory platform
- Sellers browse your catalog and select products to sell
- Inventory, prices, and orders sync automatically between you and your sellers
What Gets Synced
| Data | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Supplier → Nventory | Title, description, images, SKU, categories, tags |
| Variants | Supplier → Nventory | All product variations with their attributes |
| Inventory | Supplier → Nventory | Stock quantities stay current across all sellers |
| Prices | Supplier → Nventory | Regular and sale prices |
| Orders | Nventory → Supplier | Orders placed by sellers are routed back to you |
Your Role as a Supplier
As a supplier, your primary responsibilities are:
- Maintain your product catalog in WooCommerce as usual
- Keep inventory accurate — stock levels propagate to all connected sellers
- Fulfill orders that come in from sellers via Nventory
You don't need to change how you manage your WooCommerce store. Nventory works alongside your existing workflow.
