Example stocks for a mountain bike and store

All stores start with a Default Stock. It must remain Enabled for the following reasons:

  • It is used when importing new products, automatically assigning products to the default source and stock for immediate access to Inventory Management.
  • You cannot add additional sources beyond the Default Source to this stock.
  • It is required and used by single-source merchants, Bundle products, and Grouped products.

For multi-source merchants, create and configure stocks to best fit your stores and order fulfillment. When you assign new stock to a sales channel, any pre-existing stock in that sales channel becomes unassigned.

For a multi-store installation, the Default Stock is initially assigned to the Main Website and default store. Correct stock and quantities are displayed for enabled and disabled products in the Products grid view.
