Duplicate Key Handling

Same key on two rows? Sum them, or take the last one.

Real spreadsheets contain duplicate barcodes and SKUs. duplicateKeyMode tells Sync Master what to do when the same key appears on more than one row: aggregate the quantities into a single update, or overwrite with the last value seen.

How it works

Step by step.

  1. STEP 1

    Pick a mode

    Choose 'sum' to add all duplicate rows together, or 'overwrite' to keep the last row's value.

  2. STEP 2

    Sync Master groups duplicates

    Duplicates are detected before any API call, so Shopify only sees one update per variant.

  3. STEP 3

    Logs report the resolution

    Each merged row is reported in the sync log so you can audit what was combined.

Use cases

Where it earns its keep.

Multi-row warehouses

When a sheet lists the same SKU once per shelf, sum to get total on-hand.

Versioned exports

When the sheet appends new rows over time, overwrite to take the latest.

Stop pasting stock numbers by hand.
