 In this guide you will learn how to:
 
 * Create a Custom API to store your location inventory data.
-* Streamline your data import and sync processes using upserts and accessing entries with well-known identifiers.
 * Ensure the accuracy of your inventory amounts using Conditional Updates to prevent lost updates and other data conistency issues.

In addition, notice that `data.allow_upserts` is set to `true`, this allows to perform [upserts](/guides/How-To/commerce-extensions/create-a-multilocation-inventories-resource#update-custom-api-entries) of Custom API Entries.

-## Upsert Custom API Entries
-
-To further simplify and optimize your data import and synchronization processes you can upsert Custom API Entries. Instead of first having to check whether a record exists and then deciding to create or update a Custom API Entries, you can upsert a record, if it exists it is updated, and if it doesn't, then it is inserted or created. This is made possible by your setting of `data.allow_upserts` when you [created this Custom API](/guides/How-To/commerce-extensions/create-a-multilocation-inventories-resource#create-a-new-custom-api---location-inventories).
