Stock sync: your Ozon stock follows the brand's stock, size by size

2026-07-22

An order for a size that has sold out at the brand cannot be fulfilled, and a seller-side cancellation hurts your store's rating on Ozon. Commbot regularly compares every size with the brand's stock, reads the stock once more before closing a size that is on sale, and brakes when a mass, suspicious shutdown is about to happen.

For the products Commbot lists from brands, the stock is not with you but with the brand: when an order comes in, you buy the item from the brand. That is why your Ozon stock has to follow the brand's real stock. An order for a size that has sold out at the brand cannot be fulfilled, and a seller-side cancellation lowers your store's rating on Ozon. The opposite is a loss too: if a size the brand still has stays closed on Ozon, the sale is gone. Stock sync handles both on its own.

Each size's stock at the brand is carried over to its size card on Ozon
Every size is tracked separately: a size that sells out at the brand is set to 0 on Ozon, a size that comes back goes on sale again, and the other sizes stay on sale.

How does it work?

  1. The brand's stock is read: the brand stock of every product listed on Ozon is tracked size by size, and your Ozon stock is synced with it every 10 minutes.
  2. Each size is synced on its own: on Ozon every size is a separate card. A size that sells out at the brand is set to 0 while the other sizes stay on sale; when stock returns, the size goes back on sale in the same round.
  3. A second read before closing: before a size that is on sale is closed, its stock is read once more from a fresh source. If the second read sees stock, the size stays open — a momentary read error does not stop your sales.
  4. Mass shutdown brake: in a store with at least 20 cards on sale, if more than half of them would close in a single round, this is treated as a read error: no stock is written in that round and a warning appears in the panel. The drop is applied only if independent reads confirm it and it lasts for about two hours.
  5. Unknown stock is not sold: if the brand's stock cannot be read, the size is not opened; if the data is missing for two rounds in a row, a size that is on sale is closed as well.
  6. A reverse check from the Ozon side: every size that is sellable on Ozon is checked one by one against the brand; if the brand does not have that size, the card is closed. When a product disappears from the brand's website altogether, all its sizes are closed right away.

Left: even if the first read says "none", the size stays open when the second read sees stock. Right: if more than half of the cards would close in one round, the brake applies no closures. Bottom: a size with unknown stock is not opened for sale.

What does it affect?

The stock switches, the "When stock runs out" option and manual sync are used by an account with admin rights.

For better results

Good to know: a size with only its last few units left at the brand can sell out and come back several times a day, and the size on Ozon opens and closes with it. This is not a fault — it is the real movement of the brand's stock.

This post describes the feature as it works today: safeguards such as the reverse check, the second read and the mass shutdown brake were added in August–September 2026.
