If you are a WooCommerce store owner, you may have come across the situation where your products are showing as “out of stock” even when they are in stock. This can be a very frustrating issue, especially if you are trying to run a sale or promotion. There are a few reasons why this might be happening, and we will go over them here.
One reason why your products might be showing as out of stock is because the inventory for that product is set to “0”. To fix this, simply go to your product’s page in the backend of your site and change the inventory number to the correct amount. This should make the product available for purchase again.
Another reason this might be happening is because you have the “hide out of stock items from the catalog” setting enabled in your WooCommerce settings. To fix this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory and uncheck the box next to “Hide out of stock items from the catalog”.
Lastly, it’s possible that your products are set to “Private”. Private products can only be seen by logged-in users, so if you’re not logged in, you won’t see them in the catalog.
To fix this, go to each private product’s page and change the visibility setting to “Public”.
1. You have not set a stock quantity for the product.
2. The product is marked as “Backordered” and does not have enough stock available to meet the demand.
3. The product is set to be “Managed By WooCommerce” but the actual stock management is being done by another plugin or system.
