Sources

Every way a supplier file can reach Kizing, and what each one needs.

File URL

A link to the file over HTTP or HTTPS. Use this when the supplier publishes a stock file on their site or in a portal. Basic authentication is supported.

FTP

Host, port, user name, password and the file path. If the supplier drops a new dated file every day, give a folder path ending in "/" and Kizing takes the newest file in it.

SFTP

Like FTP, over SSH, with a password or a private key. A folder path picks the newest file too. SFTP is on Expert and Scale.

Google Sheets

Paste the sheet's link: a "Publish to web" link or the link of a sheet shared with anyone who has it. To read a specific tab, copy the link while that tab is open. Useful for consignment stock or suppliers who keep a shared sheet.

Email to a feed-only address

Each feed gets its own inbound address (it looks like feeds+…@ and is shown when you create the feed). Ask the supplier to send the stock list there, or forward it yourself; copies (cc and bcc) work too. Kizing reads CSV, TSV, TXT, XLSX, XML, JSON and ZIP attachments as they arrive and ignores the rest of the email. Email sources are on Expert and Scale.

Upload

Upload a file by hand from the feed page. Handy for a one-off list or to test a new supplier.

Credentials

Passwords and keys are used only to fetch that feed's file. If a source refuses them, the run fails with "refused our credentials" and your stock is left as it was.
