Editing stock in the Stock editor in the product view

About this article

Stock levels can be edited from two different views. One view is the Stock View where you will be able to set a new stock level by overriding the current level. However, if you would like to add or remove a certain amount of inventory to the current levels, this is easily done using the Stock Editor which you can access by editing the Variant in the product view or by Edit stock in stock view.

You can also use the 'Select all' or 'Deselect all' buttons to do each respective action that allows for marking/unmarking all tick boxes in the preorder field

If you would like to undo that or remove the preorder status of a product, please untick the relevant boxes and click 'Confirm'.

Offset

The offset feature can be used to indicate how many pieces should remain unpurchasable (read more here).

Example: Let’s say that you have five pieces left in your stock and your offset has been set to two. A customer will be able to buy three pieces, since the other two have been marked as unpurchasable.

  1. Insert the number of pieces in the 'Offset' field
  2. Click 'Confirm' to save your changes.

    Note that the Offset is variant specific. This means that it applies to all sizes of the selected variant and to all warehouses. If you would like to set a warehouse-specific limit, use the Threshold feature instead.
