If you notice discrepancies between your Fabrikatör and Shopify data, there are typically two main reasons:

1. Different Revenue Calculation Methods

Fabrikatör:

  • Calculates sales revenue using the formula: product price × quantity

  • Excludes taxes, shipping costs, discounts, and returns

Shopify:

  • Calculates total revenue as the final amount paid by customers

  • Includes taxes, shipping costs, and adjusts for discounts and returns

2. Quantity Tracking Requirements

Fabrikatör requires specific settings in Shopify to track quantities accurately:

  • All Shopify products are synced with Fabrikatör

  • The "Track quantity" option must be enabled for each product/variant

  • Products/variants without quantity tracking enabled will be:

    • Tagged as "archived" in Fabrikatör

    • Excluded from revenue calculations and total sales quantity

    • Not included in restock suggestions

3. Warehouse Tracking Settings

Fabrikatör can be configured to track inventory from specific locations:

  • By default, Fabrikatör may only track your primary location

  • If you have multiple warehouses or locations in Shopify, you may need to update settings, and set as aggregate all locations.

How location settings affect data:

  • If a location isn't being tracked, available quantity from that location won't appear in Fabrikatör

  • This can lead to significant discrepancies in multi-location businesses

  • Fabrikatör will only generate restock suggestions based on tracked locations available quantity.

How to Fix These Issues

  1. Enable the "Track quantity" option for all relevant products/variants in Shopify

  2. Updating Location Tracking:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Warehouse Settings in Fabrikatör

    2. Ensure all relevant warehouses are selected for tracking

    3. Click Save to apply your changes
