Import Inventory Groups

How it works

You can import inventory sync groups from a CSV file. The app reads the data and creates new groups or updates existing ones based on your selected import type.

Steps

1. Open the app > click Inventory Groups > click Import

1. Download the sample CSV template to understand the correct format

2. Click Add file and upload your CSV file

1. Choose an Import Type:

• Create new groups: Add new inventory groups only.

• Overwrite existing groups: Replace existing groups with the same name.

• Create new groups if not exist and overwrite existing groups: Combine both actions.

1. Click Import to finish.

Example

If your CSV contains:

id	title	status	location_id	location_name	quantity	variant_id	variant_title
1	Inventory Sync Group 1	active	81987633427	My Custom Location	54	44866231861523	The Minimal Snowboard - Default Title
1			81987600659	Shop location	21
1			81987666195	Snow City Warehouse	40
2	Inventory Sync Group 2	active	81987633427	My Custom Location	32	44866231894291	The Hidden Snowboard - Default Title
2			81987600659	Shop location	45
2			81987666195	Snow City Warehouse	43

After importing this CSV: The app will create two groups:

• Inventory Sync Group 1 → includes The Minimal Snowboard synced across three locations.

• Inventory Sync Group 2 → includes The Hidden Snowboard synced across three locations.

Manage Inventory Groups

After importing, you can manage and review details in each group:

• Group Name: Used to identify the sync group.

• Locations & Initial Inventory: Set synced stock levels for each location.

• Add Variants: Add products manually or by condition (e.g., based on tags or collections).

• Preview Variants: See all products included in the group and their current inventory levels.

Example

You imported a group named “T-Shirts”. It syncs stock across 3 locations:

• Main Warehouse (50 units)

• Storefront (20 units)

• Online Warehouse (30 units)

When one sells 2 items, the app automatically updates all locations to keep stock consistent.

Notes:

• Always download the sample CSV before importing to ensure your file matches the format.

• Use Export regularly to back up your sync data.

• If importing large files, make sure your CSV is clean, no empty columns or duplicate headers.
