Turn on inventory tracking

On any product details page, look for the right-hand panel labeled Inventory Tracking.

• By default, tracking is off — there's no limit on how much of that product can go into people's orders. Leave it that way if you don't need to restrict it.
• Turn it on to set a maximum quantity you can sell until you update it again.

How tracking works

Inventory is tracked in multiples of your base unit. If the base unit is a stem and your pricing variants are different numbers of stems, everything deducts in stems:

• Set inventory to 60 stems — someone orders 1 stem, it drops to 59; 6 stems, 54; 12 stems, 48.
• If someone removes items from their cart before their order cutoff, those go back into inventory automatically.
• At zero, the product shows as Sold Out on your shop page — and becomes available again the moment stock returns from an abandoned cart.

Manage inventory in bulk

On the product list page, the Inventory column shows what's tracking and what's unlimited.

1. Select the products you want to change and click Edit.
2. In the Inventory column, turn tracking on to add a limit, turn it off to remove one, or type a new quantity — say your blueberries came in lighter than expected, drop the boxes from 100 to 80.
3. Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to revert them.

Turn tracking off

1. Select the product and click Edit.
2. In the Inventory column, click Turn off — the quantity disappears.
3. Click Save. The product is now unlimited.
