Stock CSV import, can it all stock or does it replace?

HI guys,

just looking to speed things up i see the CSV import for products etc

Will this allow us to add a CSV of products ordered?

example we dont want to replace stock levels,

If we have 5 in stock and 3 on and order when doing a CSV upload will this make it 8? or relace it with 3?

thank you

Thanks that looks like will replace, I am trying to get it so it adds in addition without having to download a sheet then add and reuploading

Trying to do some thing where we have sku + Quantity ordered

CSV will look like

SKU Quantity on order
SKU 1 4
SKU 2 43
SKU 3 2

Then when we upload it will add the numbers to stock rather than replacing

example SKU 1 we may have 4 in stock after we upload the above it will make it 8 etc,

Shopify native CSV import can’t do that.
If you open to using apps, Matrixify can do that.
Check similar topic – Inventory importing
Note that Renars is with Matrixify, just in case.

If Matrixify is too expensive, technically it’s possible to natively upload this “delta” into a metafield, then have a free Flow app to loop over those products and apply delta from metafield to inventory levels.
Would need someone to create a flow for your though.
