# Set Stock Status

> Bulk mark products as in stock, out of stock, or on backorder. Update stock management and backorder rules across your catalog in one action.

Set the availability of many products at once. Mark a batch as out of stock during a supplier delay, reopen items when stock returns, or switch made-to-order products to backorder. This action changes the status flag only, not the actual quantity.

## Set the status
