Getting started

Create your first supplier feed, confirm the column mapping, check the dry run and schedule it.

Supplier Stock Feeds reads a supplier's stock file and updates Shopify stock for products you already have, matched by SKU or barcode.

Before you start

  • Your products exist in Shopify with SKUs or barcodes that match the supplier's file.
  • You know where the file comes from: a link, an FTP or SFTP server, a Google Sheet, or an email from the supplier.
  • Decide which Shopify location the feed updates. Many stores give each supplier its own location.

Create your first feed

  1. Install Supplier Stock Feeds from the Shopify App Store and open it.
  2. Press New feed, name it after the supplier and choose the source. See Sources.
  3. The setup agent reads the first file and proposes the column mapping. Check it and press Confirm mapping. See Column mapping.
  4. Pick the location the feed updates.
  5. Open the dry run: every change, with totals for up, down and to zero, and rows that match nothing.
  6. Press Apply these changes, then pick a schedule. Tick "Apply automatically when every safety check passes" if you want runs to apply themselves.

After that

Each run is checked by the safety guards first. A held run changes nothing and sends you an alert with the reason.
