Introduction

This guide explains how to use TRAEDE’s inventory importer to update stock levels for your products. This is helpful when performing bulk updates across multiple products or locations, either by setting a new stock quantity or adjusting existing stock.

Use this guide whenever you need to do a stock count, import stock from a third-party system, or manually correct inventory levels.

Access the inventory importer

To access the importer:

1. Go to traede.com/inventory/import
   (You can also navigate directly to this by typing /inventory/import after the domain in your browser.)

You will be taken to the importer page.

Prepare your spreadsheet

Before uploading your file, prepare a spreadsheet with the following format:

• Each row should represent one variant.

• You can match variants by either SKU or Item Number (IN).

• Each column should represent a location (e.g. In stock, Remotely in stock).

You only need one identifier per row — either SKU or IN.

📌 Save your spreadsheet as a CSV file. You can use either commas or semicolons as delimiters.

Example spreadsheet:

Upload and configure your import

1. Upload your .csv file.

2. If the preview looks broken, try switching the delimiter in the top-right (comma , or semicolon ;) until your columns display correctly.

3. Match the columns:

   • Choose SKU or IN for product identification.

   • For each inventory column, choose whether to use:

     • Quantity: overwrites the current inventory value.

     • Adjustment: adds/subtracts from the existing value.

Examples:

• Selecting Quantity and entering "10" will set inventory to 10.

• Selecting Adjustment and entering "5" will add 5 to existing inventory.

• Entering "-2" as an adjustment will subtract 2 from current inventory.

Ignore the header row

Check the box "Ignore first row" to prevent TRAEDE from importing your header row.

Submit the import

1. After mapping and reviewing the data, click Submit.

2. TRAEDE will now process the import and update your inventory levels accordingly.

Verify your inventory update

To confirm the update:

1. Search for one of the products you updated.

2. Open the product detail page.

3. You should see the inventory change applied under the appropriate location.
