Thresholds

Import thresholds from a CSV

Upload a CSV with variant_sku and threshold columns to set safety stock on up to 5,000 variants at once. Small files import instantly, big ones run in the background.

Updated July 22, 2026

CSV import (Pro) sets thresholds on many variants at once from a spreadsheet. It matches rows by SKU, so it is the fastest way to apply exact numbers you already keep in your own stock file.

Prepare the file

The CSV needs two columns: variant_sku and threshold. Each threshold is a whole number, 0 or higher. You can download a ready-made example from the import page to copy the layout. Comma and semicolon separators are both detected automatically, so files exported by Excel on European locales work too.

Steps

  1. Open Import thresholds from CSV (/app/import).
  2. Drop your CSV onto the upload area, or click to choose it.
  3. Click Start import.

What you should see

Files under 500 rows import right away and show a result with counts for saved, SKU not found, invalid, plan limit, and errors. If any rows failed you can download a failures CSV to fix and re-upload. Files above 500 rows, up to a maximum of 5,000, queue as a background job - refresh later and the new thresholds appear on the Thresholds page as they are processed. Every run is listed under Recent imports.

Good to know

A row is skipped as "SKU not found" if no variant in your store has that exact SKU. To set thresholds by group instead of by SKU, use bulk thresholds by collection, tag, or type. To let the app propose numbers from your sales rate, try suggested thresholds.
