Manage Stock

Manage Stock

Commerce's Manage Stock feature is used to keep track of the product stock available in your store. What's especially helpful about this feature is that it automatically updates the stock every time a sale happens.

 

To find this feature, go to Settings > Manage Stock under the General section in the Zoho Commerce dashboard.


Descriptions

Let's look at the fields you'll find when you click on Manage Stock:

Title: Name of the product.

Action: You can increase, decrease, or reset the quantity of the product.
