Price and Stock Import allows you to easily update product price and stock in your store from an easy to understand CSV spreadsheet.

You simply export all your product’s price and stock data in one click, open the exported CSV on your computer, make changes to the price and stock data and import. There aren’t endless of columns of data to understand as it shows basic product identifiers with price and stock columns only.

Note that the store setting for stock management must be enabled for stocks to be imported and therefore this setting will automatically be enabled if currently disabled. If a product is updated from no stock level to a stock level and the product did not previously have manage stock enabled this will be enabled automatically during import.

Modes

↑ Back to top

There are 2 modes which effect your export and import to match products in your CSV to products in your store:

  • ID exports products showing the ID as the first column
  • SKU exports products showing the SKU as the first column – should only be used if all products in your store have a unique SKU

Screen sizes

  • Frontend: Where elements may be displayed they will fit within the screen width
  • Backend: Where interfaces may be displayed it is recommended to use a desktop computer with a resolution of 1920×1080 or higher. For lower resolutions any interfaces will attempt to fit within the screen width but some elements may be close together and/or larger than the screen width
