How to reconcile the square inventory object-ids to our internal ids

Questions
1

Hi,
We have internal catalog of products with their own ProductIds as key in our database. when using Square inventory to track the counts, it generates object-ids for all the product inventory changes.
For ex;
lets say we have a product for sale and have 100 on hand with ProductId: 1001 in our database
If we let Square know, As I understand it will track this product with different Id(object-id). how would we reconcile the productid we are tracking and object-id with which square is tracking?

:wave: You can use Custom Attributes to uniquely identify items from your database in the Square catalog object. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks, Will try. Do you have a go live date?

At this time there isn’t a go live date that we can share however Beta functionality is considered stable and closely represents what is intended for final release, but fixes and updates might still be made. :slightly_smiling_face:

Looks like this is only for Catalog objects, how about locations, how to handle that?
Thanks

The counts from the Inventory API will return the inventory adjusted from a specific location which will have the catalog_object_id. That object Id will have the internal ID that you set as the Custom Attribute and will use to map to the data in your database. :slightly_smiling_face:
