One of the most repetitive and time consuming weekly tasks with a Magento store is updating inventory.
In most stores, this is done at least 3 times per week, to sync Magento with warehouse inventory levels. If you have a store with 2,000+ products, uploading and importing an updated inventory csv file can take 2+ hours. That’s 6+ hours per week spent! There is an alternative, though.
Our Inventory Update Script will reduce the uploading and importing time to 5 minutes for 2,000 products, saving you time and money every week.
How it Works
You build your inventory_update.csv file with ‘sku’, ‘qty’, ‘and is_in_stock’ columns. Upload it to your var/import folder via ftp. Point your browser to our script, and it updates your store inventory. When it’s done running, it will list all the sku’s that have been updated(See image below).
After updating your inventory, just refresh all your indexes in Magento and you’re done. This whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
Our inventory update script includes directions, an example inventory_update.csv file, and the script. It works on Magento 1.4, 1.5, 1.6.
Cost is $149.95.
Once we have received payment notification, we will send you all the files.
