    Hi, I would like to be able to decrease a stock field in a user table (a non-Woo table in the same WP database) when the Woo _stock in postmeta is changed due to a web purchase.

    The user table is used by transactions in the physical store ans should be updated after a web purchase to prevent that the stock values in the Woo table get out of sync with the user table. Is there a hook near the Woo stock update that I could use? Any other cunning plan how to achive this?

    TNX! Egbert Jan, NL

    Hi, there are no hooks that fire directly when changing the stock, but you can use the woocommerce_before_product_object_save hook which will fire every time stock is adjusted as it triggers a product save and will include all the data including the stock status and quantity when orders get placed.

    Thanks Gerhard. I’ll further investigate this. Sounds like a way to a solution. Now find out how to implement it… I’m not a very good programmer. RTFM, I guess. The Woo Codex in this case.
    Cheers, Egbert Jan
