How to use it
Select products
Check the products you want to update, or use filters and select all matching results.
Open Bulk Edit and choose Set Stock Status
Click Bulk Edit, then search for “Stock Status” or find it under Inventory & Shipping.
Configuration options
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Stock status | In Stock, Out of Stock, or On Backorder | — |
| Enable stock management | Turn on quantity-based stock tracking for the selected products | On |
| Allow backorders | Allow customers to order even when stock is zero | Off |
Tips
- Use this when you need to quickly mark a batch of products as out of stock — for example, during a supplier delay.
- Enable Allow backorders for products you can still fulfill even when stock reads zero (e.g., made-to-order items).
- This action sets the status flag — it doesn’t change the actual stock quantity. Use Update Stock to adjust quantities.
