Update existing products in store with update feed (detailed)

• Verify that your store contains the products you want to update, with correct identifiers such as SKUs or barcodes.
• Ensure that all necessary fields are mapped in the Matching Column (Step 2). You can remove any fields you do not wish to update. If you only want to update stock levels without affecting other product details (such as descriptions, tags, meta descriptions, images, or prices), unmap those fields so they will not be overwritten. You can fully control which fields are included in each update feed.

Steps to Create an Update Feed:

1. Click on the Create new feed -> Update existing products in the store to create the feed.

If you previously used an Add New Products feed (for example, when importing products from a supplier using a public token), you must still create a separate Update Feed to sync inventory and prices. The Add Feed will not update stock levels for existing products.

• Alternatively, you can quickly create one by clicking the three dots on an existing Add Feed and selecting Copy as Update Feed, which will duplicate your settings and map only SKU and Quantity. If the copied feed needs to update prices too, map the Price field to the supplier's price column in Step 2. You can also change the XML URL in the existing Update feed to the full XML source used by the Add feed; this preserves the feed's filters and other settings.
• Note: An Add Feed will not update stock or price for existing products; you must use an Update Feed for inventory or price changes.

2. Select/Search the Connection that you want to use:

3. Map the fields in Step 2: Matching column

If you're using a Google Sheets connection, map the column headers or column index to their respective fields. Example below shows:

• SKU field is set as the Product Identifier then it is mapped with the Product ID Column from the feed file.
• Quantity field is mapped with Stock column.
• Price field is mapped to RRP column.
• Description field is mapped to Description_dec_1 column.

4. Apply Filters (Optional) – Step 3:

After mapping, click Next to proceed to the Filter section. You can use filters to update only specific SKUs. Learn more:

• Store Product Filter

6. Once done, click Finish to complete the feed setup.
7. Test Your Feed with Preview Sync

• Click Preview Sync to test the feed without updating any products.
• Download the Changes Log to review what would be updated. Learn more: Is Stock Sync able to preview sync without any updates?

8. Start Processing the Feed

• If the updates look correct in the Changes Log, click Start Process to update your store’s inventory.
