Owner Actions: Transfer or Delete a Company

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

To access owner actions, navigate to Company > Settings and click Owner Actions in the top right. These actions are visible only to the company owner or a SKUSavvy super-admin, not to employees regardless of their permissions.

Transfer Ownership

Transferring ownership grants all permissions to another employee, making them the new owner. You retain your current permissions, as ownership transfer does not remove your access.

  1. Select the New Owner from the dropdown menu (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, including orders, inventory, and integrations, is permanently deleted, and your SKUSavvy subscription is cancelled. There is no way to recover a deleted company.
To permanently delete your company, enter your password, then type your company name to confirm.

Switch to SKU-Based Inventory Mode

SKU-based inventory pools stock across every variant sharing a SKU, instead of tracking each variant separately. Switching merges variant inventory, bins, and costs into one shared pool per SKU through a background process that can take several minutes on a large catalog.

SKUSavvy displays this option only while your account is in the default per-variant inventory mode. The change is irreversible once confirmed.

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 option 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.
