Add category column to inventory
Could you please add "Category" as a column to select on the Inventory Page (exactly as it shows in Products page)?
We have multiple categories of products and need to search/view inventory by category.
It will be very helpful to find out each product!
Many thanks in advance.

Please Create a Way to Click on the Failed Allocation Message in Order to See Details
Please Please Please read this:
I've been struggling with quikship for months and the only way to get it to work correctly without orders getting stuck in processing limbo is to allocate my orders. I allocate them all at once by clicking to allocate all orders that are awaiting shipment. This has been working well, but now I've hit another snag. I recently clicked to allocate and had an order fail. I figured that I'd be able to click on the failed order notification to see the details, but that was not an option. The only way to go about…
3 votesHi @Julie Knerr Piano Safari, thanks for taking the time to share this! I see Joe’s helped you out some already. I’d also like to add there is an “Allocation Status” filter right above your list of orders. It’s located with the other filters below the “New Order” button. You’ll be able to find the unallocated orders that way, too.
We’re working on improving inventory, so we’ll let you know when we have updates for you, or you can follow up with your open ticket .

Negative Inventory
Allow stock level to fall below zero. This will help accounts where shipments are still allowed for zero inventory items and will account for the items which shipping labels have been create for.

Track Value of Inventory
I'd like to see a way to value my entire inventory for reporting purposes. Just a simple report that can take the input value of every item times the number of items and report how much your total inventory is worth.

Deduct Inventory for imported FBA orders.
I sell via Amazon FBA, eBay, and my own website. I have all the orders piped into ShipStation so I can see all the data in one place. I'd like to be able to track my entire inventory though SS but the FBA imported orders don't deduct from the inventory numbers, even when I use channel specific SKUs, Store Aliases, and an FBA specific warehouse to deduct from.
After talking with customer support, I'm told this is because FBA orders are imported as already shipped. Whereas if they came in as "Awaiting Shipment" I could get them to deduct from…

Products > Stand Alone Product Detail > Shipping > Check Box (Combine Packages)
We mainly sell and ship boxes, when customer order more than one unit of same products or other products, shipstation combine weight of all products in one package, we like a setting in product where we can choose to not combine, so we can see multiple packages
Products > Stand Alone Product Detail > Shipping > Combine Packages (Check Box, by default checked)

Bulk Import Carrier Information on Product Import csv
Currently you can import the weight and dimensions of an item but not its carrier. The only way to change a product's carrier is by searching for the individual product in the product database and changing it's carrier one-by-one for every product. Specifying a carrier for all your products will take a lot of time.
Using a csv product import for the carrier would save a lot of time which is valuable to us all.1 vote -
API - Product Update - Bulk Method
Hi Guys,
Would be cool if we will have a bulk method to update products via the API.
We have around 500,000 SKUs to update, but are forced to send a single Product object every call.Not only that is a really slow process, we also overload the limits which effect order updates and tracking imports.
The bulk method for Orders works like a charm, would love to see Products taking an array as well.

Importing Product Templates from the Marketplace into Manual Orders
Hello,
I get a fair amount of orders through email and payments through PayPal that never actually enter the marketplace (woocommerce) that I use. Because of this I end up creating manual orders often enough that I've begun to feel like my process is very inefficient.
All of the products ordered through my website automatically come in through the marketplace with pictures, weights, and names already attached to them. All these saved templates are in my marketplace and have been entered manually. I was really hoping there was a way to connect my marketplace product templates to Shipstation in a…

More Robust Alias Creation
I would like to see a way to have a single SKU from a webstore import to ShipStation as two line items. For example a bundled product (one price for A and B).
We have several items available both as a bundle and as single items. It seems foolish to pre-assemble these bundles as we don't know how many will sell.
If there was a way for the bundle SKU to import as the two separate SKUs it would help inventory as there wouldn't need to be an additional location created just to house assembled bundles.
Additionally, we work with…

Support for Kitting, Bundling while tracking inventory of pieces
I have a portfolio where I sell systems that have parts (canisters, filters, fittings, documentation). I want to track the inventory of the pieces when people order the systems. Please add this functionality, then I can get rid of my archaic Microsoft Access based home spun solution!
Thanks, Dave1 vote -
Inventory quantity used as criteria for automation
If a seller has multiple warehouse locations, add functionality to allow automation rules based on out of stock levels. If I have no stock in CA then the item needs to be fulfilled by NC location.

View Published as well as Negotiated Rates at the same time on the Rate Calculator
It would be extremely beneficial to be able to view both the published and negotiated rates at the same time when quoting a shipment. When giving a shipping quote to a customer who pays published rate, it is not efficient to have to turn off negotiated rates to get that number.

view inventory by warehouse location
Would love to be able to sort and see what's available in stock by warehouse location, instead of only by product SKU.

WooCommerce gift note import
WooCommerce has a "This is a gift" feature visible during checkout, a lot like Amazon. Amazon orders import gift notes automatically, but WooCommerce gift notes are not imported, at least not to the "gift note" field. It would be great if it were possible to import data straight into the gift note field from WooCommerce.

Apply Product Attribute Changes to Aliases
Changes made to a master SKU ("surviving product"), like name changes, UPC changes, tags, category assignment, shipping settings, etc, should be automatically propagated to their aliases as well.

Notification Email for low stock
Currently the only way to get notifications for any low stock or no stock items is through Shipstation.
I would be nice to be able to set up an automation rule to send an email notifying users that something is low stock when it hits the threshold.

inventory api
I would love to be able to determine product counts through the API.
This allows me to do things like automatically order certain things as they run low on stock.We have different manufacturers sending products to a single warehouse and it is very tedious to have a manual process around checking that the quantity that was received was the proper amount, and that we aren't running low on things like packing slips.
