How Do I Turn Off WooCommerce Stock Management?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:16 pm

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce platform that gives you full control over your online store’s inventory. By default, WooCommerce manages your stock levels for you, but you can also choose to turn off this feature if you prefer to manage your stock levels yourself.

There are a few different ways to turn off stock management in WooCommerce. The first way is to go to your WooCommerce settings page and click on the “Products” tab.

From here, you can click on the “Inventory” link and then uncheck the “Enable stock management” option. This will disable stock management for all of your products.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to manage your inventory, it is important to know how to properly turn off stock management. Otherwise, you may accidentally sell products that are out of stock, or oversell products and have to refund customers.

If you only want to disable stock management for certain products, you can do this by editing the individual product. Go to the “Edit product” page and scroll down to the “Inventory” section.

Here, you will see an option to “Manage stock” with a checkbox next to it. Simply uncheck this box and save your changes.

You can also choose to hide out of stock products from your shop pages by going to your WooCommerce settings page and clicking on the “Catalog” tab. From here, you can scroll down to the “Hide out of stock items from the catalog” option and select “Yes”.

Conclusion:

There are a few different ways that you can turn off WooCommerce stock management. You can either disable it completely for all products, or just for certain products.

You can also choose to hide out of stock products from your shop pages. Whichever method you choose, be sure to save your changes before exiting the page.
