How to update your inventory with a CSV

If you manage your product inventory directly in Candid you have the option to update your inventory using a CSV file. The steps are outlined below.

1. Download the file:

• Go to your Products page in Candid
• Click "Download CSV"
• Click "Download inventory"

2. Change the numbers:

• Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets
• In the "Current Inventory" column, type in your current stock count
• Save the file as a CSV

3. Upload the file:

• On your Products page in Candid, click the small arrow next to "Add Product +" (see screenshot below)
• Click "Upload Product CSV"
• Click "Update Products"
• Click "Upload" and choose your file
• Click "Confirm"

Important things to remember:

• Only change the Current Inventory column. Do not change the other columns.
• Enter your total stock. Candid subtracts stock for open orders by itself.
• If a cell is empty, that product's stock will not change.
• Use Update Products, do not use Create New Products.
• This does not update by itself. Do these steps every time you want to update your stock.
• Download a new file each time.
