Stock Options - Simple Products

Default Stock Options

Default stock options are automatically applied when you create a new product. These settings establish baseline inventory behavior and can be adjusted later on a per-product basis.


Show Out of Stock to Users

Controls whether products that are out of stock remain visible to users.

  • When enabled, the product remains visible even if inventory reaches zero.

  • When disabled, the product is hidden when it is out of stock.


Allow Purchases When Out of Stock

Determines whether users can purchase a product that is currently out of stock.

  • Yes: Users may purchase the item even when inventory is unavailable. The order will be marked as backordered.

  • No: The Add to Cart button is hidden, preventing the item from being purchased.


Default Low Stock Warning Level

Sets the inventory threshold at which a product is flagged as low stock.

  • When total inventory falls below this value, the product appears in low stock reports.

  • This value is applied by default to new products and can be modified for individual products as needed.
