Delete products in bulk by entering SKU or product title in Column A and choosing the matching mode. Update stock by SKU without additional fields. For location inventory, upload SKU in Column A and stock quantity in Column B, select the location, and run the update.

Update quantities, prices, cost, barcodes, and weight for existing variants. Pull feeds from URL, FTP, or SFTP. Schedule recurring imports to keep stock aligned across locations.
