Altera now supports Shopify’s inventory transfers as a first-class object. You can export every transfer on your store to a spreadsheet, edit it in Excel or Google Sheets, and import the changes back - including shipments, tracking, and receiving.
What’s new#
- Export inventory transfers - pull every transfer, line item, and shipment into a single spreadsheet, with columns for status, reference name, tags, origin and destination, and aggregated received/rejected quantities.
- Create transfers from a spreadsheet - new draft transfers can be created in bulk by listing line items with a SKU or barcode. Origin and destination can be looked up by location name.
- Update existing transfers - MERGE by transfer ID to edit the note, tags, reference name, and line items on a transfer. Line-item deletions are supported via
Line Item: Command = DELETE. - Shipments with tracking - create and update shipments inline using
Shipment 1:columns (tracking company, tracking number, tracking URL, ETA, barcode). Walk a shipment from Draft through In Transit to Received in a single import. - Receive and cancel - move a transfer all the way to Received, or cancel a stale one, without leaving your spreadsheet.
- External suppliers - leave the Origin or Destination Location column blank to represent stock coming from (or going to) an external party.
- Export filters - filter exports by status, origin, destination, product, variant, tag, or creation date.
