Stock Sync does not currently support dynamic date‑based filters (for example, filtering rows where a date column falls between today and the next 7 days). If your update depends on matching specific upcoming dates in a column, the dates must be entered manually in the filter. This means that when you need products updated based on changing daily dates, you will need to refresh the filter values every few days to include the new upcoming dates. Automatic rolling date ranges are not supported atFew readersCan 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.

In the feed settings, enable Track Inventory to ensure stock levels are synced correctly. RefeFew readersDo I need to filter incoming inventory files before sending them to SyncX?
No, you generally do not need to filter incoming inventory files before sending them to SyncX. SyncX only processes and counts products that match existing items in your store (if using the update feed). If your vendor sends a file with 20,000 rows but your store only has 800 matching SKUs, SyncX will update only those 800. The remaining unmatched items are ignored.

For example, you can exclude specific product types or limit syncing to items from selected vendors.

To archive a product when its quantity reaches zero, ensure that your update feed sets the product’s quantity to 0 (using a quantity rule if needed). Then enable the auto-archive option in the update feed or use an Auto Clear Discontinued/Remove Feed setup.

To change the content type for a metafield in Stock Sync, first check the value coming from your feed and ensure the metafield’s content type in Shopify matches that value. For example, numerical values should use Decimal, true/false values should use the True or False type, and text values should use Single line text.

You can also load the image URLs manually in your browser to confirm they are accessible.

To configure variant options such as Color and Size correctly, map a Variant Group field for all variants belonging to the same product, then assign each attribute to its own Variant Option field. Example: • Map Variant Group → a shared value (e.g., product name or style code) so all variants merge into one product. • Map Variant Option 1 → Color column (e.g., Bej, Siyah, Kahve). • Map Variant Option 2 → Size column (e.g., 38, 39, 40). This ensures that Color and Size remain seFew readersHow can I confirm if my IP address is properly whitelisted?
To confirm whether the Stock Sync IP (52.20.189.51) is properly whitelisted by your supplier, perform these checks: Test the connection using your feed method (FTP, SFTP, HTTP, or API). If the feed loads normally after whitelisting, the IP is accepted. If the connection still fails, ask your supplier to check their firewall or server logs for blocked or denied requests from 52.20.189.51. This is the most reliable way to confirm whether the whitelist is working. You can also test thFew readersHow can I connect only specific products to my store feed for daily stock updates?
To connect only certain products (by SKU) to your update feed and avoid importing or updating all items from the supplier, apply filters in your feed settings. Use an Incoming Feed Filter to include only the SKUs you want. Add a condition such as: SKU equals COOL265L, COOL265XL, COOL265S, etc. This ensures that only those products are added or updated, and that Stock Sync ignores all other items in the supplier file. After saving the filter, run the feed again to confirm that only thFew readersHow can I ensure my product quantities update correctly on Shopify?
To ensure your product quantities update correctly on Shopify, always verify that your feed has the Quantity field mapped to the correct inventory location in Shopify.

To ensure all product variants are correctly included in your product feed, make sure each variant meets the following requirements: • The Variant Group field (such as handle, title, or another chosen grouping value) must be mapped in the Add Product feed.

If a variant is missing a required value, it will fail to import. • Variant option values in the feed mustFew readersHow can I keep out‑of‑stock products active in my store?
To keep out‑of‑stock products active and still visible on your store, enable the Inventory Policy setting to "continue selling when out of stock." In Stock Sync, you can achieve this by mapping the Inventory Policy field in your feed and setting its value to a fixed value such as continue, ensuring products remain published and purchasable even when their quantity is 0.

Stock Sync cannot merge multiple supplier feeds into a single combined feed automatically. If you need a unified file, the supplier must provide a consolidated feed, or you must merge the files externally before uploading.

If additional images are not appearing in your feed, the issue is often caused by incorrect field mapping. Ensure that the column or field containing additional image URLs is correctly mapped to the additional_image_link field in your feed settings.

Common syncing issues are often caused by feed configuration, missing credentials, safety thresholds, or an unavailable source. If your feed shows zero products or stops running, check whether the zero‑quantity alert is triggered—syncX cancels the process when more than 80% of items have quantity 0 unless you disable or lower this threshold in your profile.

First, ensure the location exists in your Shopify admin under Settings → Locations.

If products may exist at another location but not at the selected location, enable Auto add stock to location if not there.

Stock Sync will always use the exact value from your feed’s product title column. If the title in your Shopify store keeps switching back after each sync, it means the feed is overwriting it.
