Why Is My WooCommerce Product Out of Stock?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:35 pm

When you set up a WooCommerce store, you’ll need to choose how to handle inventory for your products. There are three options for managing stock in WooCommerce:

Don’t track stock – this is suitable for digital products, or products that are made to order.

You won’t need to worry about setting a stock level, or low stock notifications.

Track stock – this is suitable for physical products that you have in stock. You can set a stock level for each product, and WooCommerce will automatically update this when an order is placed.

Show Out of Stock Products – this option will show all products on your website, even if they’re out of stock. This is useful if you want customers to be able to purchase products that are out of stock, but you don’t want to track inventory levels.

If you’re using the track stock option and your product is out of stock, it’s likely because you need to update your inventory levels. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products, find the product that’s out of stock, and update the “Stock Quantity”. You can also set a “Low Stock Threshold”, which will send you an email notification when your product reaches a certain level.

PRO TIP: If your WooCommerce product is out of stock, it may be because the product is no longer available, or because the supplier is out of stock. If you are unable to find the product in your supplier’s inventory, you may need to contact the supplier to find out if the product has been discontinued.

Conclusion:

There are a few reasons why your WooCommerce product may be out of stock. The most likely reason is that you need to update your inventory levels.

You can do this by going to WooCommerce > Products and finding the product that’s out of stock. Another reason could be that you have a low stock threshold set, and you need to adjust it.
