How do I plan inventory across my own site, Amazon and quick commerce without overselling?
The short answer
Overselling across channels happens because your inventory 'truth' lives in too many places at once, your Shopify count, your Amazon count and your Blinkit/Zepto dark-store count all drift independently unless something syncs them in real time. Indian omnichannel brands run this through an OMS like Unicommerce that treats one warehouse ledger as the single source of truth and pushes real-time updates outward to every channel. Until that sync is live, keep a manual buffer, don't sell your last 5-10 units of any SKU on any single channel, as a stopgap.
