Operations

Stop selling stock you no longer have.

Every order — online, walk-in, WhatsApp — drops the stock count by one. When a product hits zero it's automatically marked sold-out. Re-stock by editing the count, or set up auto-replenish thresholds for predictable items.

What it does

Turn stock tracking on per product (you don't need it for everything). Set the starting count. Every paid order — from any channel — decrements it. When it reaches zero, the storefront greys out the product, the POS hides it, and customers can no longer add it to their cart. You set the low-stock threshold for each item; the dashboard flags anything below it.

Who it's for

Anyone selling physical inventory. A clothing shop tracking sizes (S/M/L/XL each have their own count). A bakery making 30 loaves a day. A clinic dispensing fixed-quantity medication. A pet store with limited supplier delivery. If you make-to-order with no fixed stock (e.g. cake decorating studio), use Daily Limit instead.

How it works

  1. On any product, switch on stock tracking and enter the current count.
  2. Optional: set a low-stock alert threshold — get a dashboard notification when it triggers.
  3. Restock by editing the count. The storefront updates instantly across all channels.

When to use it

Use stock management when oversells damage your customer relationship — refunding "we sold out, sorry" is more expensive than the stock-tracking work itself. Skip it for items where you can always make more (most made-to-order food, services, time-bookable things).

Frequently asked questions

Can I track stock per variant (size, colour, flavour)?

Yes. Each variant has its own stock count — Size M has 5, Size L has 3, etc. The variant runs out independently.

What about modifiers / extras?

Modifiers (e.g. "extra cheese") don't have stock counts by default — they're assumed unlimited. If you need to track them, configure them as separate products instead.

Will customers see how many are left?

Optional. By default, low-stock numbers show a "only N left" warning to create urgency. You can hide this if you prefer.

Does stock sync between online and POS?

Yes — single stock count across both. A walk-in sale at the POS drops the online count immediately.

Can I bulk-update stock?

Yes — export your products to CSV, edit the stock columns in Excel, and re-import. Useful after a stocktake.
