How Does WooCommerce Stock Work?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:58 pm

WooCommerce is a great eCommerce platform for small businesses. It is simple to set up and use, and it is very affordable. One of the great things about WooCommerce is that it can be used to sell physical products, digital products, and even services.

WooCommerce stock management is a bit different than other eCommerce platforms. With WooCommerce, you can manage your inventory right from your WordPress dashboard. This makes it very easy to keep track of your inventory and make sure that you always have enough stock on hand.

PRO TIP: WooCommerce does not manage stock for you. If you would like WooCommerce to automatically mark products out of stock when all variations have zero stock, you need to enable the Manage stock? option in WooCommerce > Settings > Products.

When a customer orders a product from your WooCommerce store, the stock level for that product will be reduced automatically. You can also set up low stock alerts so that you are notified when a product’s stock level gets low. This way, you can reorder stock before it runs out completely.

WooCommerce also makes it easy to track your inventory levels over time. You can see how much stock you have sold and how much is left in stock. This information can be very helpful in planning future orders and keeping track of your business’s overall inventory.

Overall, WooCommerce is a great platform for managing your inventory. It is easy to use and provides all of the features that you need to keep track of your stock levels.
