Inventory & stock management

How WooCommerce stock works

WooCommerce only tracks a stock quantity when stock management is enabled on a product or variation. If management is off, WooCommerce ignores any quantity you send and only stores a stock status (in stock / out of stock / on backorder). The three fields you work with:

• Manage Stock — turns quantity tracking on or off - Stock Quantity — the number on hand (only applied when Manage Stock is on) - Stock Status — in stock / out of stock / on backorder

Bulk stock updates

Load Products (or Product Variations for variable products), edit the Stock Quantity column for the rows you need, and publish. You don't have to touch the Manage Stock column: when a row supplies a stock quantity, LinkyFlow enables stock management automatically — exactly like typing a quantity in the WooCommerce admin. WooCommerce then recomputes the stock status (e.g. a positive quantity flips the product to in stock). To go the other way — managing only the status without tracking counts — set Manage Stock to FALSE and edit Stock Status directly.

Tips

• Publish hundreds of rows at once; LinkyFlow batches them for speed. - Use the status or category filters to load only the products you are restocking. - Need the whole catalog? Use the per-page All results option to pull every product in one fetch.
