Setting inventory tracker to Shopify

When uploading the product CSV into Shopify, you want to make sure to set the Variant Inventory Tracker to Shopify. This will set the product or variant Track inventory attribute to checked in Shopify.

To ensure that you are not selling products or variants when they run out of batches or inventory, you want to make sure that Continue selling when out of stock is not selected. You can do this in a CSV upload by setting Variant Inventory Policy to deny.
