# Can the same feed be used to add products and manage inventory stock in Shopify?

**Issue:**  
Can the same feed be used to both add products and manage inventory stock in Shopify?

**Answer:**  
Product creation and inventory updates should be handled using **separate feeds**.

* Use an **Add feed** to import new products only.  
* Set up a separate **Update feed** to track and update inventory changes.  
* Ensure the Update feed includes the **Quantity (stock)** field.  
* In the feed settings, enable **Track Inventory** to ensure stock levels are synced correctly.  
* Refer to this guide for detailed setup instructions: [Update existing products in store with update feed]( https://help.stock-sync.com/en/article/update-existing-products-in-store-with-update-feed-pq2o32/)
 
||| The Add feed does not track stock changes; use an Update feed to manage inventory.
