Shopify inventory

When your brand is connected to Shopify and you enter a Shopify quantity above zero, the form can also show Sync Inventory to Shopify. Turn it on to send the Shopify quantities to the inventory of the linked Shopify product. If a colour does not exist in Shopify yet, the form warns "New Shopify variants will be created" and lists the new colours. If the style is not linked yet, the switch is disabled and asks you to link the style on the Integrations page first. When Shopify inventory is already synced for the style, the form says so and updates stock automatically.
