Sorry, I am not able to post an image and am fighting the Blocks. I hate the block editor. It is so difficult…
We have recently discovered the following issue with ‘Managing Stock Inventory’ on WooCommerce.
Recently, we used to be able to manage stock and add ‘2’ as the inventory level. This would mean that a customer could not physically add more than that number to their cart as the arrow key on the product page would not go above ‘2’.
However, something has changed. Now the customer can increase their quantity above ‘2’, but when they select ‘add to cart’, it refreshes the page and the following error message is displayed at the top of the page:
“You cannot add that amount of “Lore Minis – Logical” to the cart because there is not enough stock (2 remaining).“
How come this has now changed? This functionality seems a lot worse for the customer than the previous way did.
Is there a way this can be reversed back to how it was?
You can test this by heading to the URL, selecting the first shade ‘Logical’ and trying the process.
Thanks
]]>i’m using the URL import option to import two times a day a csv file which is generated from a logistics and warehouse management tool to update stock and prices on our Woocommerce store.
The problem is that i need to exclude a product from updating the stock but keeping the “Manage Stock?” option checked to manually manage it and i can’t modify the generated csv file to delete the actual product line because it’s needed for other purposes and softwares.
So how can i manually stop certain products from updating from a csv file but keeping the Manage Stock option of these products enabled.
Thank you,
Danilo
Unfortunately, while the child variation shows having stock and even lets me add to cart on the product description page, in the items list (product page) it shows as Out of Stock.
You can see it with the “Advosze (WB)” card that shows up as the second item on this page:
https://swccgcards.com/product-category/singles/singles-revised/singles-revised-anh/
I have searched the forums and found other people having similar issues but I’ve tried many things and I’m not getting a solution. I’ll include a brief report of the key things I’ve verified/tried.
I’ve verified the parent item (anh-wb-ds-advosze) has Manage Stock unchecked. For now I only have imported a single variation (anh-wb-ds-advosze-un) which is enabled with Manage Stock? checked.
I previously deleted the variation and re-imported with images for the child item because someone reported that helped them resolve the issue, but it did not work for me.
The child item has a stock of 3.
I have a bunch of custom attributes, and I can’t figure out a way to format the import rows correctly to show what I’m doing, but I’ll paste them in here in case they’re helpful (just for this one item, excluding the custom attributes except the one used for variation)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
]]>The problem seems further complicated with variable products and the Manage Stock function.
We load our product details (description, SKU etc) in WC and then update the inventory quantity through Quickbooks which we have been advised is best practice. Manage Stock is unchecked at parent level but checked at variation level. Our quantities sync perfectly from Quickbooks in that, at variation level, the quantities reflect correctly. BUT in our Product List, it shows the product Out of Stock with zero quantity and hence will not display the product). If we then uncheck Manage Stock at variation level, it then removes the inventory quantity and shows it as In Stock and the product then displays. We then have to go back to the variation and re-check Manage Stock and manually input the inventory quantity. The product still displays.
This is a lot of time-consuming workarounds to get our products to display and reflect stock levels accurately. Can anyone suggest how we solve this for both the simple and variable products? ]]>

I would like to set up an e-commerce able to daily update different stock qantities and availabilities for each shop location (but the product range is always the same) uploading a CSV file via cronjob/scheduled actions.
After days of search, I came up with the following ideas:
1) have a unique website with a multi inventory extension. Anyway I’m wondering if there are existing solutions able to add more location fields to the CSV file even for variable products and then if there are extensions that manage this kind of CSV file via cronjob/scheduled actions.
2) creating more subdomains. installing woocommerce on each subdomain in order to consider each shop as a unique one. finding an existing extension for each shop to schedule the daily CSV file import.
3) what do you suggest? Am I missing the easisest way?
Thank you very much in adavance for your support
]]>Is there a possible way such that the option – “Manage stock” – will be shown and allowed for a particular user-role to have access to?
This is the fact that our system wants to allow only those who are login as admin to be able to see this function and gaining access to it to manage the stock quantity, while not allowing other roles to be able to access and add any qty number to the total stock for each item.
