Is it possible for me to connect my website’s inventory to my square account?

So that I don’t have to enter each item in my inventory manually on the square app.

Hi @theglamdealer20,

The short answer is yes. There are several ways to do this, I will cover a couple of them.

Many website/inventory management companies have built integrations with Square so that you can sync your inventory easily and effectively. You may need to reference your particular websites inventory hosts help guides to find out how to do this. If you post who hosts your site (ie Weebly, Wix, Shopify, etc) I can help find this documentation if it exists.

Additionally, you can import inventory to Square through the import tool mentioned in the Basic Inventory Management article. Specifically: 

"The Import tool allows you to download a report of your current inventory and update your inventory quantities in bulk. This is especially helpful for adding new inventory and verifying current stock.

To download an inventory report or make updates to your inventory in bulk:

1. Visit Items in your online Square Dashboard.
2. Click Actions > Export Library.
3. In this report, update your Stock Alert Enabled [Location] and New Quantity values and save the Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file to your computer.
   Note: At this time, Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv) file templates are the only supported file types for bulk import. Custom templates aren’t supported.
4. Drag and drop your saved file to the Import Inventory window and click Upload > Confirm > Done."

A note here, you will want some single source of truth for your inventory count, so it is best to decide which system you want to manage your inventory. If it is Square, you may want to think about using the Square Inventory API to communicate to your website.

Looks like pretty much all the bases have been covered here - thanks, @mattd! 🙌
