How to use the product inventory management system #
Before you can start tracking inventory for individual products, you need to enable the manage stock feature for your entire store. To do this:
- Navigate to ‘WooCommerce’ > ‘Settings’.
- Click on the ‘Products’ tab > ‘Inventory’ link.
- Check the box for ‘Enable stock management’.
- Confirm your settings for notifications and thresholds.
- Click the ‘Save changes’ button at the left-bottom to save your changes.
Setting Up Inventory Tracking for Simple Products #
- Navigate to ‘Products’ and click on ‘All Products’ to view the list of existing products or click on ‘Add New’ to create a new product.
- In the product editor screen, locate the Inventory section.
- Enable stock management by checking the ‘Manage stock?’ checkbox. This will activate inventory management for the product.
- Set the stock quantity for the product in the ‘Stock quantity’ field. Enter the number of available units for that product.
- If you want to enable backorders, check the ‘Allow backorders?’ checkbox. This allows customers to place orders even when the product is out of stock.
- Specify the low stock threshold in the ‘Low stock threshold’ field. This value determines when the product will be marked as low stock and trigger a notification.
- Optionally, you can set a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) for the product in the “SKU” field. The SKU is a unique identifier used for inventory tracking.
- Save your changes by clicking the ‘Update’ button if you’re editing an existing product or the ‘Publish’ button if you’re creating a new product.
