Running a stock count

A stocktake is a physical count that reconciles what is on your shelves with what Shopify thinks you have. Miko is built to make counting fast and safe, whether you are at the till or in a warehouse.

Two ways to count

• Barcode scanner or on-screen: start a count and scan items, or type counts directly. Each scan finds the matching line instantly.
• Export and import a sheet: export the count sheet as a CSV, hand it to your warehouse team to fill in offline, then import the completed sheet back into Miko. It matches rows by variant and SKU and skips blanks.

Review before you apply

Before any stock is changed, Miko shows a variance review , the difference between the expected and counted quantity for every line. You approve the count, and only then is Shopify inventory updated. If stock moved after you counted, Miko flags it rather than overwriting silently.
