Price and stock feed
A narrow feed keyed on SKU for updating price and stock without re-importing the catalog, and when a connected store makes it unnecessary.
Price and stock move far more often than product content. Rather than re-importing your whole catalog to change a number, you can point MarketplaceHub at a small, narrow feed containing just the values that change.
Format
| Column | Required | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
sku | Yes | Text | Must match a SKU already in your catalog. Unknown SKUs are ignored — this feed updates, it never creates. |
quantity | Yes | Whole number | Available stock. |
A price column can be mapped alongside quantity; the sample omits it because most merchants sync stock far more often than price. As with the product feed, the column names are yours — they are mapped during import.
What it does
Each row is matched by SKU and dirty-checked, so unchanged values cost nothing. Changed values update the SKU's stock figure, and every connected marketplace carrying that SKU is then marked as needing a price/stock push — content is untouched, so nothing is republished.
The alternative: a master store
If your stock already lives in a connected Shopify or Etsy store, you do not need this feed at all. Either store can act as the source of truth and propagate changes outward on its own. See Marketplace integrations for how each channel does that, and how a change is prevented from echoing back to the store it came from.
