A Shopify store owner seeks a way to automatically sync product inventory counts to Google Sheets for forecasting and sales analysis. They prefer a non-technical solution since they lack coding experience, and found Zapier insufficient for reading product/variant data.
Proposed Solutions:
Technical approach: Use Shopify API with webhooks via Postman (paid service) connected to Zapier for Google Sheets integration, though this requires technical knowledge.
App recommendations:
eCommix: Exports and syncs products, orders, and customers to Google Sheets (includes screenshot demonstration)
syncX: Stock Sync: Offers export function for inventory counts and can create export feeds by mapping SKU and quantity fields
DataFlowed: Likely fits within free plan tier; includes setup tutorial for automatic Shopify data exports
Alternative: One developer offers early access to a dedicated inventory forecasting app with 6 months free trial in exchange for testing feedback.
The discussion remains open with multiple viable options presented, though no final decision or implementation has been confirmed.

I am looking for a way to automatically pull and sync our current product inventory counts into an existing Google Sheet to help with forecasting and sales analysis. I thought Zapier would be able to do this but couldn’t see a trigger or anything that would read product/variant information. If there’s an app that can do this that is priced realistically for this single task, that would be preferred since I don’t have a background in development and don’t really know how to code .
It is quite technical especially if you don’t code.
You can call the Shopify API for your stock and create a webhook (you can use Postman - you need to pay a few $ / month to access this) then use this webhook to Zapier to get the results and do your googlesheet.
Not an exact solution for your problem but I have been in your situation so we made a dead simple and easy to use inventory forecasting app (that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg) and we are currently on-boarding a few early testers in exchange for 6 months of free trial. Let me know if you’d be interested to take it for a spin and let me know your thoughts on it.
We created eCommix for exporting and syncing store products, orders, and customers into Google Sheets. Maybe you can check it out and see if it works for you. Happy to support if you need features requests.
You can use our “Export” function to export the inventory count to Google Sheets, but this won’t assist with forecasting and sales analysis. For this purpose, you will need to establish an export feed.
If you are interested, syncX: Stock Sync can directly export products from your Shopify store to Google Sheets by mapping the required fields. To ensure accurate synchronization, you need to map the SKU and quantity fields.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.
Hey there! Totally get where you’re coming from—Zapier doesn’t have a built-in way to pull Shopify inventory levels directly.
Shopify’s built-in reports let you view inventory counts, but unfortunately, they don’t have automatic syncing to Google Sheets. For hands-off syncing and easy exports, a reporting app might be your answer!
You might want to check out Mipler reports. It can create custom inventory reports and, best of all, it lets you schedule automatic exports straight to Google Sheets—no coding at all. This takes all the manual work out of keeping your spreadsheet up-to-date.
Hope this helps! If you need a walkthrough, just let me know.
