Inventory status
To configure the Inventory status, follow these steps on the product detail page for each product variant:
- Check the 'Track quantity' checkbox.
- Set the product locations.
- Add the quantity of products in the specified location.
If 'Track quantity' is not checked, the Inventory status in the product variant will not be displayed.
The Inventory status can have different values:
- If the quantity of products is 0, the inventory status will be “Out of stock”;
- If the quantity of products is 0, but the 'Continue selling when out of stock' checkbox is marked, the inventory status will be “In stock” without counting the quantity.
To view, control, and change inventory, click on Inventory in the 'Products' tab and set it here.
Setting | Description |
Inventory base quantity | Use this field to specify the starting inventory quantity, which will be 100% relative to the current inventory threshold in the progress bar. |
Low inventory threshold | Set the threshold for what is considered “Low” inventory. When the quantity falls below this threshold, the low inventory status will be triggered. *Choose 0 to always show in stock if available. |
Show inventory count | Mark the checkbox to show quantity of products in stock. |
Show progress bar | Enabling the “Show Inventory Progress Bar” option will display a colored progress bar that indicates the quantity of products in stock. When this option is enabled, the progress bar will change color to signify whether the quantity of products is high or low. When this option is disabled by removing the checkmark, a circle will be displayed instead of the progress bar. The color of the circle will change dynamically based on the quantity of the product in stock. The circle will be displayed with inventory status, which can be one of the following: 'In Stock,' 'Almost Gone,' or 'Out of Stock.' This provides a visual indication of the product's availability to customers. |
In stock | You can choose the color to indicate when products are available in sufficient quantity. |
Low in stock | You can choose the color to indicate when products are in low quantity in stock. |

When you set a low inventory threshold — for example, 54 — and a product variant has only 11 products in stock, it will be shown in a red color with a specific text to indicate that the product will soon be out of stock.
