Inventory is the quantity of a particular product that you have immediately available for sale. Under this menu, you can manage your stock by variant.
Choose whether to track your inventory and configure settings related to your stock type, basis for stock deduction, available stock, and minimum stock level.
If you have more than 1,000 products and/or options, unexpected errors might occur while loading the entire list in the admin page.
Setting up inventory
You can set up inventory when you add or edit your products. Or you can go to Products>Inventory to change the settings by inventory types.
Info
In the Inventory menu, you must click Save button on the top right corner of the search results to reflect the changes.
You can set up the following items.
- Enable inventory tracking
- Stock type
- Basis for stock deduction
- Available stock
- Minimum stock level
- Out of stock icon
- Display status
- Product status
Basis for stock deduction
Choose when to adjust your inventory after a product is sold.
Upon order: Inventory is adjusted based on the number of products ordered. Therefore, products for unpaid orders, including bank transfer or virtual accounts, are also deducted from the inventory.
Upon payment: Inventory is only adjusted once the orders are fully paid. Therefore, products for orders placed by bank transfer or virtual account must be paid before they can be deducted from the inventory.
Note
Products added to carts will not affect the inventory in any way.
Minimum stock level
Setting a minimum stock level ensures that you can stably ship out the product for every customer order. Stock is displayed in the list so you can understand the product's current stock level before it goes out of stock. If we compare this to a traffic light, the out of stock status is the red light and the minimum stock level is the yellow light. You must order or manufacture products that are in the minimum stock level list, depending on their sale status.
1. Go to Products>Inventory>Minimum stock level to add or edit products.
2. Tick the box for products to which you want to add the out of stock icon.
3. Click Save in the top right corner of the list.
If you have set a minimum stock level, products with a lower stock level than the minimum stock level will show up in Products>Inventory>Minimum stock level.
Out of stock icon
Display out of stock icons for sold-out products on your storefront.
1. Go to Products>Inventory>Out-of-stock products.
2. Tick the box for products to which you want to add the out of stock icon.
3. Click Save in the top right corner of the list.
Note
If you enable the out of stock icon, sold-out products will be shown as out of stock and customers won't be able to buy them. If you do not enable the out of stock icon, customers can still purchase those sold-out products and the corresponding inventory count will be negative. For products with options, all the options must be sold out or configured as "Not for sale" to be displayed as out of stock.
Total sales volume
Displayed numbers: Total sales throughout all stores (Total sales for the current store only)
The sales figure will be counted based on the same basis as Orders>Analytics>Products.
These only include products for paid orders including exchanges and additional orders.
Number of products refunded for cancellations, returns, exchanges will be subtracted from the total sales volume. (A negative number may be displayed.) Total sales volume is updated every 15 minutes.
