I recently discovered some products that are being updated without my knowledge. Is there a way to check the date and time of their updates? I gave a collaboration code to a third-party company to help set up shipping (they are legit), but I need to see if they did the updating to some product as a test or other people from our company are doing it.
I tried in the story activity log, but there I only see changes made to theme and storefront password, etc.
Unfortunately, Shopifyâs activity log doesnât capture product updates. However, you can check for a scheduled publishing date if the product update involves making it visible on your store. Go to the specific product in your Shopify admin and look for the âPublishingâ section. If a scheduled publishing date exists, it will be displayed there.
Youâre right that the default Shopify store log doesnât show the full history of product and variant changes. However, you can check the inventory adjustment history for each product to see some of the changes.
To do this:
Go to the Products section of your Shopify admin
Select the specific product you want to check
Click on the Variants tab (if the product has variants)
In the Inventory section, click on âAdjustment historyâ
This will show you a log of all the times the inventory quantity has been adjusted for that variant
This can help you track when new variants have been added, quantities have changed, etc.
If you need more robust product change tracking, there are also some great Shopify apps that can provide more detailed logs and reporting. I hope this helps provide a solution for your needs! Let me know if you have any other questions.
any advice on what app to use to find more robust inventory history that goes back more than 90 days and can give a report (this is what I need) on all products increased inventory counts for X period?
Thereâs actually kind of a hidden way to see some product history. If you open a product in the admin and just add /events.json at the end of the URL, youâll see a log.
Like this: https://admin.shopify.com/store/{your-store-link}/products/9954787197241/events.json
Itâs not great tho, it only shows stuff like when a product was published or unpublished, and only a couple edits.
Other option (shameless plug here ) is my app Loggr Product History & Revert. That one actually tracks every change and you can roll things back.
