How can I update my inventory manually?

Each time I have inventory updates, do I have to update my inventory spreadsheet and reupload? Isn't there a place that I can go online and update manually?

Hey @CreamCityNails-

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community.

You can adjust your item stock manually in the Online Dashboard. Here are instructions on how to do so:

Visit Item Library in your online Square Dashboard.
Select an item from the list.
To edit inventory by item variation, you can click on the variation row:
Under Stock Action, enter the reason for adjusting your stock.
If you select Damage, Theft, Loss, the amount entered will automatically deduct from your current stock count for that location.
If you select Stock Received or Restock Return, your stock count will increase for the amount entered.
Selecting Inventory Re-Count will show your current stock amount — just enter in your new stock amount to update.
Enable Alerts — if your stock drops below the alert threshold, a stock alert will be generated.
Click Save to confirm your update.

You can find instructions on how to do this within the app, here. Does that help? Let me know! ✨

When you take payment, how do you get it to update the inventory

I am putting items in a store front and have been told that when using square, when they make the sale it will update the inventory but I am not able to figure out how this is done. I have input my inventory in square and assigned sku numbers. When the person take the payments, what do they need to do to have the inventory updated
