How to Import Shopify Inventory Items Data into Google Sheets

Managing inventory data is crucial for e-commerce success. But jumping between Shopify and spreadsheets wastes time and leads to outdated information.

This guide shows you how to pull live Shopify inventory data directly into Google Sheets.

Step-by-step guide to importing Shopify inventory items

Step 1: Install Coefficient and connect to Shopify

First, add Coefficient to your Google Sheet:

• Open your Google Sheet
• Click Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons
• Search for “Coefficient” and install it from Google Workspace Marketplace
• Once installed, open Coefficient from the Extensions menu
• In the sidebar, click “Import Data”

Now connect your Shopify store:

• Select “Shopify” under the E-commerce category
• Click “Connect” and log in with your Shopify credentials
• Grant Coefficient permission to access your store data

Step 2: Import Inventory Items data

With Shopify connected, you can now import your inventory data:

• Select “Import from Objects” (not Reports)
• Find and click on “Inventory Items” from the list
• Choose which columns you want to import (SKU, available, cost, tracked, etc.)
• Apply any filters if needed (e.g., only items with quantity below a threshold)
• Select your destination in the spreadsheet
• Click “Import” to pull your inventory data

Your Shopify inventory data will now appear in your Google Sheet with all the columns you selected.

Step 3: Set up auto-refresh (optional but recommended)

Keep your inventory data fresh without manual updates:

• Click on the Coefficient icon in your sidebar
• Find your Shopify import in the data imports list
• Click the three dots menu and select “Schedule Refresh”
• Choose your preferred frequency (hourly, daily, weekly)
• Set specific times for the refresh to occur
• Click “Save” to activate automatic updates

Now your inventory data will update automatically based on your schedule. This ensures you’re always working with the most current information.

Bonus: Set up inventory alerts

Take it a step further by creating alerts for low stock:

• In Coefficient, click “Automations” in the sidebar
• Select “Create New Automation”
• Choose “Slack” or “Email” as your notification channel
• Set conditions (e.g., when inventory falls below 10 units)
• Customize your alert message
• Click “Save” to activate your inventory alerts
