Allow vendors to automatically update Magento inventory products via a CSV file
Managing your online inventory is one of the most costly tasks in eCommerce. Avoid the hard labor of manually editing of prices, quantity, stock status!
With the Marketplace Inventory Updater Module, vendors can update their inventory automatically. All they have to do is maintain a spreadsheet (CSV file) of their inventory and the module will update everything daily.
Useful Spreadsheet
|
You can export CSV files directly from Magento and use it as a base for the module. The format can be opened by most spreadsheet software. |

The setup process is straightforward. Simply locate your CSV file, tell the module how to 'read' it and your inventory will be updated with ease. |
How to setup Marketplace Inventory Updater Module
- CSV Link – The full link to the CSV file that will be used to update the Vendor’s Magento Inventory (https://example.com/stock/example.csv)
- CSV Delimiter – What is being used to separate values in the CSV file, commonly a comma but this needs to be checked in the inventory CSV by the Vendor to be certain
- Matching CSV Column – The Header of the Column in the Vendor’s own Inventory CSV file that will be used to match with products in the Marketplace Products database
- Matching Product Attribute – The attribute in the Marketplace Database that the Matching CSV Column will match with. Something that is unique to each product such as SKU is recommended
- Matching Qty Column – The Header of the column in the vendor’s own Inventory CSV that contains the quantities of each of their products
- If Product is not in the Feed – Determines what the extension should do if a product is found in the Vendor’s store on Magento that is not found in the vendor’s CSV. That it is not on the Vendor’s Inventory CSV can either be ignored or cause their marketplace store to treat it as out of stock
