Stock settings options
Here are the options you'll find on the Stock settings page:
- Enable Stock Management:
This is the main switch for inventory tracking. It automatically updates inventory counts after each order to ensure accurate stock levels. - Reserve Products for New Orders:
Holds stock for pending orders, reducing the risk of overselling when multiple customers are buying the same product. - Allow Out of Stock Orders (AOoSO):
It allows customers to place orders even if stock levels fall to zero. It can also be set individually per product. - Low Stock Notifications:
Sends alerts when a product's stock falls below a defined threshold so you can restock on time. - Allow Purchases if Stock is Sufficient Across All Locations:
Enables orders based on combined inventory levels across all
