We've recently received a feature request from one of our EZ Inventory customers to provide a different way of updating inventory quantities in his Shopify store.

Originally, our app simply set/replaced the variant quantity in Shopify with what's provided in the inventory feed. But our customer needed a way to basically add to his Shopify inventory based on the data provided in his data feed.

We can definitely see the different use cases for this, such as if the store owner is tracking the inventory directly in Shopify and need to be able to do automated adjustments via a data feed as they receive new inventory. So we went ahead and got working on it and implemented it basically the same day.

In EZ Inventory's Data Feed settings page, you will now see a new option called "Inventory Update Type" with the following options:

• Set Inventory Qty (Shopify Qty = Feed Qty)
• Increase Inventory Qty (Shopify Qty = Shopify Qty + Feed Qty)
• Decrease Inventory Qty (Shopify Qty = Shopify Qty - Feed Qty)

This gives our customers a bit more control on how they want to make adjustments to their Shopify inventory.

In the Activity Log of our app, we also display which type of inventory update that was used.

We hope this new feature proves useful!
