Shopify Pre-Order Automation with Real-Time Inventory & Arrival Dates

Overview:

Tired of manually managing pre-orders, spreadsheets, and vague delivery timelines? I built a custom Shopify automation that syncs purchase orders from Stocky, updates pre-order inventory in real-time, and shows accurate arrival dates on product pages—without any manual work.

What I Delivered:

✅ Automated sync between Stocky and Shopify every 30 minutes ✅ Pre-order inventory auto-updates at a dedicated “in-transit” location ✅ Arrival dates displayed live via product metafields ✅ Pre-order stock resets when inventory is received ✅ Overselling risk eliminated using Shopify’s multi-location logic ✅ Clean, scalable Node.js app built with rate-limit protection and batch processing ✅ Secure admin override via custom endpoint

Tech Stack:

Node.js + Express
Shopify Admin API (GraphQL)
Stocky Purchase Order API
node-cron for automation
Hosted securely and built for scale

Impact:

🚫 No more spreadsheets 📦 No more overselling 🕒 Inventory updated within 30 minutes of PO changes 📈 Customers always know when pre-orders will arrive 🧠 Team focuses on growth, not stock admin

Perfect For:

DTC brands scaling with pre-orders
Stores using Stocky to manage POs
eCommerce teams that care about transparency, automation, and customer trust
