Stock and low-stock alerts
See what you have, correct a count, and spot what's running low.
See your stock
Go to Catalog, then Inventory. Each variant shows:
- On hand
- How many you have.
- Reserved
Held for orders that aren't finished yet.
- Available
What shoppers can still buy: on hand minus reserved.
- Status
- In stock, Low or Out of stock.
Search by SKU or product, or filter to Low stock or Out of stock.
Correct the stock
Stock changes by itself when orders are placed, cancelled or returned. To correct it by hand:
- 1
Open the variant
On Catalog › Inventory, choose the variant.
- 2
Enter the change
Under Adjust stock, enter how many to add or take away in Quantity (+/−), such as 5 or -3. Pick a Reason, such as damaged or found, and add a note if it helps.
- 3
Apply it
Choose Apply adjustment. Movement history, below, shows every change to that variant's stock, with who made it and why.
You can't take stock below what's available. A product's own page shows its stock, but you change it here.
Low-stock alerts
An alert opens when a variant's available stock falls to its threshold or below. The threshold is 5, unless you change it for a variant: open it on Catalog › Inventory and set Low-stock threshold. Leave it blank to use the shop's default.
Open alerts show:
- In Alerts, at the top of every admin page.
- As a banner on Catalog › Inventory. Choose it to see just those variants.
- In the Low stock alerts view on Catalog › Products.
An alert closes by itself once the stock is back above the threshold.
Selling when you're out of stock
Without it, a variant can't be bought once it's out of stock.
