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 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 fields they might need.

When sending your inventory to potential buyers, one of the fears most business owners have is competitive exposure: you don't want your competitors to have a snapshot of your inventory. My Stock Sheet offers you a simple way to set a maximum quantity level displayed in your exports. If you have a product with a high stock count, buyers will only see the maximum inventory configured in the app's settings.

How to hide high stock levels

Hiding your high stock levels 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 Plus 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. Quantities are not yet masked, which means your total quantity is displayed in the file. To configure stock masking, visit the Masking section and set a treshold (default treshold is set to 50). Once you enable stock masking and save, files generated from this point onward will automatically hide stock counts above this treshold.
