Inventory Sync: Dropbox URL Format
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor allows you to use Inventory Sync jobs to periodically synchronize data between different suppliers or product feeds and your store. Inventory Sync simplifies the process of updating your store's product inventory by retrieving spreadsheet files from various sources.
The Inventory Sync function can download a spreadsheet from a remote server using the following formats to update product data in your Shopify store:
- Dropbox
- Google Drive
- FTP
- Web URL
You can also configure the job to run on a custom schedule.
This feature is only available on Advanced and Professional plans.
Sharing a Dropbox File
You can generate a Dropbox URL that allows Inventory Sync to retrieve the file for inventory updates. Paste the file URL into the designated URL field from the 'Spreadsheet edit' view:
- Paste URL into the URL field
- Click the Upload button, and continue to the mapping section
- Click the Inventory sync button that appears
- Configure schedule
