# What is Stockeo?

Stockeo is a Shopify app that automatically updates your inventory and product details based on data provided by your suppliers. Connect your supplier feeds, map data fields to Shopify properties, and let Stockeo keep your store up to date — on a schedule or on demand.

## How it works

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Connect your supplier feed

Provide the URL of your supplier's data file. Stockeo supports **CSV**, **XML**, and **JSON** formats. You can connect via HTTP, FTP, or Email. Google Sheets are also supported — just publish the spreadsheet as CSV.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Map data fields

Tell Stockeo which fields in the supplier file correspond to Shopify properties like SKU, price, quantity, title, description, images, and more. You can also set up price calculations, quantity formatting, variants, and metafields.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set a schedule

Choose how often Stockeo should sync your data — every few hours, once a day, or any custom interval. You can also run syncs manually whenever you need.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Stockeo keeps your store updated

Each time the automation runs, Stockeo fetches the latest data from your supplier and applies the changes to your Shopify products and inventory.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
