Do I need to set aside inventory to sell on Curate?

No, there’s no need to set aside inventory to sell on Curate. By installing the Curate Sales Channel, Curate keeps your products' information up-to-date including the latest inventory levels. Any product updates within your Shopify account (including inventory changes) are pushed to Curate so we’ll always know if you have available stock before we allow a purchase of one of your products.
