How can I deliver feeds to partners and channels?

Six delivery methods: FTP, SFTP, Email (AWS SES with attachments), Google Sheets (live OAuth2 sync), HTTP POST (webhook delivery), and Direct Download (cloud-stored files with presigned URLs).

Can I import product data from suppliers and partners?

Yes. Nventory supports importing from file upload, FTP, SFTP, Google Sheets, and webhooks with HMAC verification. Import modes include products and inventory, products only, inventory only, or update only.

How does Nventory prevent bad imports from breaking inventory?

Three safety layers: pre-import inventory snapshots, change threshold detection (pauses if more than 50% would change), and row-level SHA-256 content hashing that skips unchanged products.

Can I filter which products go into a feed?

Yes. Filter by product tags, categories, sales channels, product status, stock locations, or specific product IDs. Each feed gets exactly the subset of products each destination needs.

How often can feeds run?

Feeds run on any cron schedule — hourly, daily, weekly, or custom expressions. Manual triggers available anytime. Every run is tracked with record counts, file sizes, duration, and errors.

Q: What fields can I include in my feed?

Over 24 fields: Product (ID, title, handle, description, status, dates, thumbnail), Variant (SKU, barcode, title, weight, dimensions, EAN, UPC), Price (amount, currency), Inventory (stocked qty, reserved qty, location), and Computed (tags, categories, image URLs). Each supports transformations.

Q: Is Google Sheets sync live?

Yes. Nventory connects via OAuth2. On every run, it clears existing sheet data and writes the latest product data. The sheet always reflects your most recent feed run.

Export product feeds in CSV, JSON, XML, or XLSX. Deliver via FTP, SFTP, Email, Google Sheets, or HTTP. Import from suppliers with built-in safety checks.

Sound familiar?
You're not alone.

Most multichannel merchants are still managing product feeds with spreadsheets, manual uploads, and prayers. These are the problems that waste hours and cost sales every week.

Manual CSV exports every week

Someone on your team is still exporting a spreadsheet, reformatting columns, and emailing it to a partner or uploading it to a channel. Every. Single. Week.

Different format for every destination

One partner wants XLSX, another needs XML, your ad platform expects CSV with specific column headers. You maintain separate files for each.

Stale product data causing rejections

Prices change, stock runs out, products get discontinued — but your feeds still show yesterday's data. Listings get disapproved or customers order out-of-stock items.

No automated imports from suppliers

Suppliers send inventory updates via email or drop files on an FTP server. Someone has to download, validate, and manually enter the data into your system.

No audit trail when things break

A bad import overwrites correct inventory. There's no snapshot, no undo, no way to know what changed or when. You rebuild the data from scratch.

Feeds don't scale with your catalog

What worked for 200 SKUs doesn't work for 20,000. Spreadsheets time out, FTP uploads fail, and manual processes that took an hour now take a full day.

Export Feeds

Import Feeds

Pull data in
from anyone — safely.

Most feed tools only export. Nventory lets you import product and inventory data from suppliers, warehouses, and partners — with safety guardrails that prevent bad data from breaking your catalog.

Built-in Safety Net

1.Pre-import inventory snapshot captures your current state

2.Change threshold detection flags bulk overwrites (>50%)

3.Row-level SHA-256 hashing skips unchanged data

4.Failed rows exported as CSV for review and correction

5 source types

Connect your source

Pull inventory and product data from file uploads, FTP servers, SFTP, Google Sheets, or receive it via secure webhooks with HMAC verification.

Smart matching

Map locations and categories

Smart fuzzy matching automatically maps supplier locations, tags, and categories to your system. Handles abbreviations, case differences, and naming variations.

Snapshot + threshold

Safety checks before every import

Pre-import inventory snapshots let you audit or roll back. If more than 50% of inventory would change, the import pauses for your manual approval.

Hash-based dedup

Smart deduplication

Row-level content hashing (SHA-256) skips unchanged products automatically. Only the rows that actually changed get processed. Failed rows are exported as a CSV for review.

Six ways to deliver your feeds

Every destination has different requirements. Nventory speaks all of them — FTP for legacy systems, SFTP for security, Sheets for collaboration, webhooks for automation.

FTP

Push feeds to any FTP server. Automatic directory creation and path management included.

SFTP

Encrypted file transfer over SSH. The secure standard for enterprise and partner data exchange.

Email

Feed files delivered as email attachments via AWS SES. Custom subject lines with feed name and date interpolation.

Google Sheets

Live OAuth2 sync directly to Google Sheets. Clears and updates the spreadsheet on every run — always current.

HTTP POST

Push feed data to any webhook endpoint. Perfect for custom integrations, automation platforms, or internal systems.

Direct Download

Files stored in cloud storage with presigned download URLs. Access any feed run from your dashboard, anytime.

Full control over what goes out

Choose exactly which fields to include, how to transform them, and which products to send. Filter your catalog so each feed contains only what each destination needs.

Smart product filters

Don't send your entire catalog to every destination. Filter products by tags, categories, sales channels, status, stock location, or hand-pick specific product IDs. Each feed gets exactly the products it needs.

By Tags

Include or exclude products matching specific tags

By Categories

Filter by product category with equal/not-equal conditions

By Sales Channels

Only include products assigned to specific channels

By Status

Filter by published, draft, or other product statuses

By Stock Location

Include inventory from specific warehouses or locations

By Product IDs

Hand-pick exactly which products to include

Your data, any format, any destination.

Raw product data flows through the field mapping engine, gets converted into the right format, and lands at the right endpoint. Every time, on schedule, without manual exports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Nventory product feeds.

Nventory generates product feeds in four formats: CSV, JSON, XML, and XLSX (Excel). Each format is generated server-side with proper encoding, headers, and structure — ready for any destination without manual formatting.

Six delivery methods: FTP (with automatic directory creation), SFTP (encrypted SSH transfer), Email (AWS SES with file attachments and custom subject lines), Google Sheets (live OAuth2 sync that clears and updates the sheet), HTTP POST (webhook delivery to any endpoint), and Direct Download (cloud-stored files with presigned URLs).

Yes. Nventory supports importing product and inventory data from five source types: file upload, FTP, SFTP, Google Sheets, and webhooks (with HMAC signature verification). Import modes include products and inventory, products only, inventory only, or update only.

Three safety layers: First, a pre-import inventory snapshot captures your current state for audit and rollback. Second, change threshold detection flags imports that would modify more than 50% of inventory, pausing for manual approval. Third, row-level SHA-256 content hashing skips unchanged products so only actual changes get processed.

Over 24 fields organized by group — Product (ID, title, handle, description, status, dates, thumbnail), Variant (ID, SKU, barcode, title, weight, dimensions, EAN, UPC), Price (amount, currency), Inventory (stocked quantity, reserved quantity, location), and Computed (tags, categories, image URLs). Each field supports transformations: uppercase, lowercase, trim, number, and integer.
