Owner Actions

Transfer company ownership, permanently delete a company, or migrate to SKU-based inventory mode — actions only the company owner can take.

Where to Find Owner Actions

These actions are only visible to the company owner (or a SKUSavvy super-admin) — not to employees, regardless of what individual permissions they hold. Go to Company > Settings and click Owner Actions in the top-right.

Transfer Ownership

This grants all permissions to another employee, making them the new owner. You keep your own current permissions — ownership transfer doesn't take anything away from you.

  • 1) Choose the New Owner from the dropdown — they must already be an enabled employee of your company

  • 2) Enter your password

  • 3) Type the confirmation phrase shown, then confirm

Permanently Delete Company

This can't be undone

All company data — orders, inventory, and integrations — is permanently deleted, and your SKUSavvy subscription is cancelled. There's no way to recover a deleted company.
Enter your password, then type your company's name to confirm.

Switch to SKU-Based Inventory Mode

SKU-based inventory pools stock across every variant that shares a SKU, instead of tracking each variant's stock separately. Switching merges every matching variant's inventory, bin locations, and costs into one shared pool per SKU, and runs as a background job that can take several minutes on a large catalog.

This is only shown while your account is still in the default per-variant inventory mode, and it's irreversible once you confirm it.

Before confirming, choose a Quantity Merge Strategy for how to combine variants that land in the same bin:

  • Sum — add quantities together. If variant A had 5 units and variant B had 3 units in the same bin, the merged pool ends up with 8.

  • Max — keep the highest quantity per bin. The same example ends up with 5, not 8 — use this when the same physical stock was being double-counted across variants rather than genuinely being separate stock.

After switching, SKUSavvy stops pulling inventory levels from Shopify resyncs in this mode — make inventory changes in SKUSavvy and let them push out to Shopify instead. New Shopify imports automatically share inventory when variants have matching SKUs. If a variant's SKU later drifts, see the SKU Mismatches Tool section on the SKU Based Inventory guide.
