Keep track of product inventory

By default, when you create a product, the inventory monitoring feature is turned off, and the product quantity is unlimited [∞]. If your product has a finite quantity, activate the inventory tracking [turn Track inventory 到 在] and specify the desired quantity for sale.

重要的： If you need to restore your site from backup and have enabled product inventory tracking, you will be prompted to “include inventory levels” during the restoration process. Failure to check this option will result in resetting inventory levels and deactivating inventory tracking upon site restoration.

Adjust inventory quantities

When a product is sold and the payment is processed, the quantity field for that product automatically updates to reflect the new available quantity. Hence, at any given time, the 数量 field shows the specified amount 减 units sold.

Should you acquire more stock, you can manually update the stock quantity whenever necessary.

Configure alerts for “low quantity” and “out of stock” items

When monitoring product inventory, the “add to cart” button will prevent a user from ordering more items than what is currently in stock. Moreover, when the quantity reaches zero, the “add to cart” button will display the “out of stock” status.

What occurs if a user attempts to order more items than available stock?

For example, if a customer tries to add 10 T-shirts to their cart while only 6 are left in stock, they will encounter the error message set for “Quantity not available.”

What happens when the product is completely sold out?

Monitor inventory for product variations

If your product includes variations, you can assign a stock 数量 for each variant individually within the variant settings. When you initially set a quantity for the product and add product options later, the original quantity will be duplicated to the initial variant created.

You have the option to activate or deactivate inventory tracking for each variant when modifying the details of a variant.

The same principles are applicable here:

• The quantity is automatically updated upon sale of a variant
• Products with zero quantity display an out of stock status
• A message indicating “quantity not available in this amount” appears when attempting to order more items than available
