Why use My Stock Sheet

If you're looking for a Shopify App that allows you to export your inventory in Excel format for your wholesale business operations - we've got you covered. My Stock Sheet allows buyers to export your live inventory in a standard Excel format, complete with all product-related metafields they might need.

When buyers are looking at your exported inventory to place an order, they expect immediate legibility: products should be easily identifiable, quantities per size should be clear and additional metafields should help the buyer by offering additional details about each item. Shopify's default Excel export does not meet those requirements.

How to use Metafield Columns

Displaying metafields in your stock sheet file is very simple with My Stock Sheet, and only takes one minute.

Download the Shopify App and install it on your webstore - you need the Pro plan in order to access the features described in this guide. After you've installed it, open the app in your Shopify Admin section. Your size-run stock sheet file is already available in the dashboard, and can be downloaded by visiting the download link. To add your custom metafields, visit the Metafields section and enable each item you need in your file. Once the metafield is enabled, save and switch to the Columns section, where you can display and re-order each metafield column.
