Title: Updating option qty
Post by: vsdoug on May 14, 2025, 02:22:16 PM: I set up a test shop, have one shoe item with 15 sizes. Im trying to import a CSV with the option.sku and option.qty. It says item description is needed so I added that too, my file look slike

forum thinks i have links but I dont, see screenshot..

any idea what im doing wrong? Still evaluating AC and updating qty by a csv is a major must-have.

To update existing products, you must have an import file that includes the option name, option value name, and other relevant details. If the option name is missing, the import process won't recognize which attribute to update and may end up removing the option instead.

Hello. Did you check the "Update if exist" box next to the product name?

Post by: vsdoug on May 22, 2025, 11:38:38 AM: no because if I do that, it erases all but the last Size option (15.0). and i have to recreate them again.

Maybe someone who has shoes they update can post a sample of what a working csv would look like because everything I try either fails or deletes options.

Post by: vsdoug on May 22, 2025, 11:55:26 AM: If I leave the box unchecked, it can't find the product. (i tried removing spaces from the name to see if that had any effect)

update;VSPowerThrow;Size;6;17
update;VSPowerThrow;Size;6.5;22
update;VSPowerThrow;Size;7;23

Have you tested the examples from the documentation?

Post by: vsdoug on May 23, 2025, 11:01:41 AM: the wizard may be the issue, if I'm mapping things correctly, the wizard should import it fine, but theres no way i can put all the option parameters in the sample file into a daily csv file to just to adjust stock levels. this makes it unusable for my purposes. thanks for the help anyway.
