Why Is My WooCommerce Product Showing Out of Stock?

If your WooCommerce product is showing as “out of stock,” it means that you have either assigned all available inventory units to that product, or have not assigned any inventory to the product. You can check your product’s inventory settings by going to WooCommerce > Products and selecting the Inventory tab for the relevant product.

Here, you will see the “Stock status” section, where you can choose whether a product is in stock or out of stock. If you want to keep track of your products’ inventory levels, you can enable the “Enable stock management at product level” option. This will allow you to set specific stock levels for each product.

If you have multiple products with the same SKU (stock keeping unit), they will share the same inventory level. So, if one of these products is showing as out of stock, it means that there are no more available units for any of the products with that SKU. You can change a product’s SKU by going to the General tab of the relevant product and scrolling down to the “SKU” field.

If you want to allow customers to backorder a product that is currently out of stock, you can enable the “Allow backorders” option in the Inventory tab. This will allow customers to purchase an out-of-stock product, and will send them an email notification when the product becomes available again.

Conclusion:

There are a few reasons why your WooCommerce product might be showing as out of stock. It could be because you have either assigned all available inventory units to that product, or have not assigned any inventory to the product at all.

It could also be because multiple products share the same SKU and one of them is out of stock, meaning there are no more available units for any of the products with that SKU. If you want to allow customers to backorder a product that is currently out of stock, you can enable the “Allow backorders” option in the Inventory tab.
