How Do I Add Stock Status in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:00 pm

When you first set up your WooCommerce store, you need to add products and stock status is one of the product details that you need to input. This is because when a product is out of stock, customers need to be able to see this so they know whether to buy the product or not. There are two ways to add stock status in WooCommerce:

1. Using the Product Data Section

Adding stock status using the product data section is the easiest way to do it. First, you need to go to the Products tab and then click on Add New.

On the next page, you will see the product data section on the right-hand side. In this section, you will find the Stock Status field where you can select In Stock or Out of Stock from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on adding stock status to your WooCommerce store, be aware that there is a potential risk of losing data if you do not properly back up your site beforehand. Additionally, make sure that you understand how stock status works before making any changes, as it can be difficult to undo once it has been set.

2. Using the Bulk Edit Function

If you have a lot of products, then adding stock status using the bulk edit function may be a better option. To do this, go to the Products tab and then select all the products that you want to edit. After that, click on Edit from the Bulk Actions drop-down menu and then select Change stock status from the drop-down menu that appears.

Conclusion

Adding stock status in WooCommerce is important so that customers know whether a product is in stock or not. There are two ways to do this: using the product data section and using the bulk edit function. Whichever method you choose, make sure that you add this information for all your products.
