Once you connect the apps to your dropshipping store, on the product page of your Shopify dashboard make sure you don’t remove the SKU number and the inventory policy because it syncs your product to the respective supplier App. When you import a product from a Shopify supplier App, the SKU and inventory policy is automatically imputed by the App!
