You might find that one store has a shortage of one product that another has an abundant amount at another location. Moving the inventory around can be a good way to keep revenues high at both sites and reduce costs.<\/p>\n<p>To make this process better, you should also move the inventory on Shopify to show it in the right location. This allows any member of your admin team to locate the stock and accurately inform customers about its availability.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, by leveraging Shopify\u2019s advanced customizations, you can display an estimated delivery date based on the inventory location, providing transparency and setting proper expectations for your customers. This prevents scenarios where you might inadvertently sell products to customers over the phone and promise pick-up or delivery of orders that cannot be fulfilled due to incorrect inventory information.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, you would have to move the items one-by-one. However, there are ways that you can move all those products in one go. This is obviously better for you, as it saves time and allows you to get on with other work that can be more profitable for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Shopify does not support mass inventory movement; it requires a CSV file app for this.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Log into your Shopify account and selecting the desired product under the Products section.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Proceed to the Bulk Editor to adjust inventory values and locations, ensuring to save changes for updates.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Using CSV Export and Upload<\/h2>\n<p>Shopify does not allow you to do a mass movement of your products from one location to another. Therefore, you have to look at the CSV file app options. Matrixify is an excellent option to move your products. This is done by allowing you to download a CSV of your inventory lists. Within the file, you can swap the items that you need to do, and then you can upload the document back to your website. This will make changes to your inventory on your website. It is not a perfect solution, but it will complete the task for you.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making changes to your website\u2019s inventory lists, you can also make changes to your customers, products, discounts, collections, orders, draft orders, pages, and payouts. Therefore, there are a lot of changes that you can make to your website effectively.<\/p>\n<p>To do this process, you can follow these steps.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row2\">Step 1 - Log in<\/h3>\n<p>Log into your website using your user credentials.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row3\">Step 2 - Products<\/h3>\n<p>Go to the products section of the admin, and then choose the product whose inventory you would like to change.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row4\">Step 3 - Bulk Editor<\/h3>\n<p>Now you can go to the \u2018Variants\u2019 and then click on the option to \u2018Edit Variants\u2019. You can then choose the option that reads \u2018Open Bulk Editor\u2019. The Bulk Product editor should then open.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"row5\">Step 4 - Change Values<\/h3>\n<p>Now you can change the values within the spreadsheet by entering the right information into the relevant cells. This system allows you to change the location of the product at the same time. You can also change the value of the item to being \u2018Out Of Stock\u2019 if you would like to.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve finished the changes, you can click on the \u2018Save\u2019 option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you own multiple physical stores, you\u2019re likely to swap inventory around a bit.
