Researched and fact-checked by Bartu Cavusoglu · Updated October 26, 2026
Koalab is a catalog and stock synchronization tool for businesses that sell on more than one channel. You edit a product once, and Koalab takes it to each connected store or marketplace with the details that channel requires. It currently connects to WooCommerce, Shopify, Tiendanube and Mercado Libre.
Its main idea is that nothing changes without the owner's say-so. Missing details are flagged before publishing, and if a channel changes a price on its own, Koalab holds the change for a person to approve or discard. It does not handle orders or invoicing.
How does Koalab work?
Setup has three steps. You authorize each channel account with one click, with no copied credentials, and give it a role: receives changes, rules the catalog, or runs on its own. Koalab then imports products, variants, images and categories. Nothing is published during the import.
After that you set rules for margin, rounding, stock buffer, and what applies automatically versus what waits for approval. Koalab checks stock drops against recent orders to tell sales from manual edits. Sales are deducted automatically, and anything unexplained is held for review.
Key features of Koalab
Koalab validates listings against each channel's rules before publishing, such as Mercado Libre's single price per listing or Tiendanube's need for clean HTML. Stock is kept as one real quantity and shared across channels with a buffer of units never offered.
Automation covers Google Sheet and supplier sources read on a schedule, price rules, and bulk actions with a preview. Every change is logged with its origin, and entire batches can be undone. Team members can be invited with limited permissions.
Key Features
Single catalog for all channels — Edit a product once and Koalab sends it to each channel with the fields and format that channel requires.
Validation before publishing — Koalab checks each channel's rules ahead of time and warns about missing details instead of waiting for a rejection.
Approval tray for external price changes — If a channel that does not lead the catalog changes a price, Koalab holds it with the before and after values for a person to approve or discard.
Channel roles — Each channel can receive changes, lead the catalog, or run independently as an outlet with its own prices and stock.
Shared stock with a buffer — Koalab keeps one real quantity, spreads it across channels and holds back units that are never published.
Sale detection — Koalab cross-checks a stock drop against recent orders. If an order explains it, the units are deducted automatically; otherwise it is held for review.
Automatic sources — Connect a Google Sheet or supplier link and Koalab reads it on schedule, applying safe changes and holding risky ones such as large drops or prices below cost.
Price rules — Set cost, margin and rounding rules so each channel gets its own calculated price. Higher plans add price from cost and minimum and maximum limits.
One-step bulk actions — End sale prices, set stock to zero for holidays or recalculate prices from cost in bulk, with a preview before applying.
History with undo — Every change is recorded with its origin, and any batch can be undone whole from the history.
Team permissions — Invite team members with limited permissions, and every change is logged under the name of the person who made it.
