Is there a way to force Shopify to make a call to the fulfillment service’s fetch_stock endpoint for a specific SKU, other than altering said SKU value? We have a client that needs to be able to force a sync, rather than waiting for the hourly update in certain scenarios.
There’s no direct GraphQL mutation or query in the Shopify Admin API to force a call to the fulfillment service’s fetch_stock endpoint for a specific SKU. The fetch_stock endpoint is typically triggered automatically by Shopify based on its internal schedule or when certain inventory updates occur.
A possible workaround could be to use the inventoryItemUpdate mutation to update the inventory item associated with the SKU. This might trigger a stock sync depending on how your fulfillment service is configured.
