Bulk Product Edit

Accepted Values for Inventory Tracking

Written guide 1 min read Beginner

When importing or updating products with CSV files in Bulk Product Edit, it is important to use the correct accepted values for inventory-related fields.

Both CSV Add Products and Add Variants now support the same set of fields, making it easier to prepare and reuse your CSV templates.

The Inventory Management field is now deprecated and has been replaced with Inventory Tracking, which is handled through Variant Inventory Policy and Variant Track Quantity.


Accepted Values for Inventory Tracking

Variant Inventory Policy:

Value Meaning

CONTINUE Allows customers to purchase even when stock is 0 or below.

DENY Prevents customers from purchasing when out of stock.

Variant Track Quantity:

Value Meaning

TRUE Shopify will track inventory for this variant.

FALSE Inventory is not tracked.

You can also use the values YES, NO, Y, N, TRACKED, NOT TRACKED as well as T and F for true and false option.

Example CSV Snippet:

Handle Variant SKU Variant Track Quantity Variant Inventory Policy Inventory Quantity

sample-shirt SHIRT-001 true deny 100

sample-cap CAP-001 f continue 0

sample-pants PANTS-001 yes deny 23

sample-shoes SHOES-001 n deny 31
