Inventory

Important: The inventory functionality does not comprise or include an actual inventory management system!
 



Please note: The inventory functionality is not enabled by default; if you require this functionality within your Website, go to the Preferences Tab, Products, Inventory Control - to adjust the settings (select Yes from the dropdown box behind "Displays a message on not stock")


Important: If you change the Preferences, you must first update the inventory for all items. This can be done manually (see description below) or via the spreadsheet export/import

If you have options on your items, the inventory feature will only work if you have a B2B or Ecommerce+ website. The option inventory must be set manually within each item as the spreadsheet import/export will not be able to accommodate all the option variations
