Looking to essentially mirror my inventory on to a “PAGE” on Shopify – not show a collection, not create a list and show it through a Shopify widget, not anything else. Simply list all of the current inventory on to a “page” I’ve created.
Currently, I am exporting inventory to a CSV file and manually typing it in to a “page” every major update. We do this because we have a membership plugin that blocks non-members from viewing the items (and subsequently purchasing them) – it is a paywalled store. But free members need to see what they’re paying for access to with the membership. I am working on a script that parses the csv file output and gives me text to copy and paste, which will speed up the process, but it is still not automated.
So, I need an automated way to list inventory on a “page” separate from Shopify widgets due to my paywall.
I’ve checked out some reporting apps which I could use to streamline this, but they’re all overpriced and just beautify the csv data Shopify gives for free.
Any ideas? Any plugins that just list products through a widget?
You can automate listing your inventory on a Shopify page by using a custom script. Here’s a simple way to do it:
Custom Script: Write a script that uses Shopify’s API to pull inventory data and update the content of your page automatically. This will save you from manual updates and CSV handling.
Shopify Liquid: If you’re okay with a bit of coding, you can use Shopify’s Liquid code to create a custom page template that lists all your products.
If coding isn’t your thing, you might need a developer to set this up for you.
Hi @sacraventures 
No app needed: IF the inventory is tracked to the products themselves and it’s under 50 products just loop through the products and output the inventory_quantity, over 50 and you may hit pagination issues.
If there’s some other area or offsite file that such data is store in use an app like mechanic to build custom dating parsing in tandem with theme customizations to output the info.

FYI: mechanic has a pay what feels good policy and the mechanic devs also make locksmith an app that can be used to make membership sites
Your process isn’t that exactly clear so can’t get into deeper detail than that
