Update Etsy Listing Quantities When Shopify Inventory Changes
If Shopify is where you track stock, every Shopify sale, restock or manual count change has to be copied to Etsy by hand, or Etsy keeps selling items you no longer have. This workflow runs whenever a Shopify inventory level changes, finds the Etsy listing linked to that variant, and sets the matching Etsy quantity to the new Shopify number, so Etsy always shows what Shopify says is in stock.

FAQs
Why does it need a metafield with the Etsy listing ID?
Etsy's API can't look a listing up by SKU, so the workflow needs to know which listing to update. Storing the Etsy listing ID on each Shopify variant once is the simplest reliable link.
Will updating Etsy inventory change my prices or variations?
Not if the workflow sends back the inventory it just fetched. Etsy's Update Listing Inventory replaces all of a listing's products at once, so the workflow copies every product, price and SKU unchanged and edits only the matching quantity.
Does this also handle Etsy sales?
No. Pair it with the Update Shopify Inventory When an Etsy Order Comes In template. An Etsy sale then lowers Shopify stock, and this workflow copies that new number back to Etsy, which already matches, so the two stay in step.
