Import Inventory using the Import Tool

Overview:

We will walk through the process of updating a product, variant or collection using the import tool.

First, it's important to understand Acenda's Product Schema.

To update a product, variant or collection follow the steps below:

1. From the dashboard click Products.

   

2. Then click Products.

   The Products page displays.

   

3. Export the list of Products:

5. Modify the data that you want to change.

   Inventory is managed at the Variant Level. Therefore, the CSV file you prepare for import should only contain Variant Level data. Remove all non-variant data. We recommend creating a CSV file with the following fields:

   • variant.sku
   • variant.inventory_quantity
   • Variant.price

   

6. From the dashboard click Import.

   

   The Import page displays.

   

7. Select Product Variant from the Model dropdown list.

8. Click Upload a File and follow the upload process.
