Can I import my inventory from a spreadsheet?

Yes. StockFlow's bulk import lets you upload a CSV or Excel file for products, categories, assets, sales orders, and BOM data, mapping your existing columns instead of re-entering everything by hand see our migration guide from Excel for the full walkthrough.

Migrate Without Starting Over

Most teams switching from spreadsheets already have years of product, category, and order data. StockFlow's bulk import brings that data in directly, so you start with your real catalog instead of an empty system. Read more in StockFlow vs. Excel or the BOM software guide for BOM-specific imports.

What data can be bulk imported?
