How to Update Inventory Settings in Bulk Using Excel

Update inventory settings for many listings at once with an Excel file.

Instead of editing listings one by one, fill in an Excel file and upload it.

Steps

  1. Go to Listings and open the Inventory Settings tab.

  2. Click Import.

  3. In Bulk Update, click Sample Template to download the file.

  4. Fill in 1 row per listing (see the columns below).

  5. Drag your file into the box, or click choose file. Then click Import.

The columns

ConnectBooks reads the columns by their header name, so keep the headers as they are.

What to enter

Asin and/or Sku

Which listing to update. Fill in at least 1. It must match the marketplace exactly.

Buyers

The buyer's ConnectBooks login email. For more than 1, separate them with commas.

The season, like Summer. For more than 1, separate them with commas.

Frequently asked questions

My buyers didn't update.

Only account admins can assign buyers. If someone else uploads the file, the Buyers column is skipped.

A blank Buyers or Seasons cell removes what's there now. Fill in every row the way you want it to end up.

I got "missing headers".

A header was changed or deleted. Download the Sample Template again and keep its headers.
