Inventory Settings

Product Inventory

With any product, you can specify whether you do or do not want to track inventory.

Track inventory on this product will give you a field to enter a Quantity. This is how many of the item you have In Stock or Available to Sell.

Do not track inventory on this product will hide the Quantity field as the product is not tracking inventory and will always be In Stock or Available to sell.

Backorders

Allow customers to purchase this product when it's Out of Stock can be set to No, Yes + Notify, or Yes + Don't Notify

Backorder Limit can be set globally in Product > Settings or on the individual products to set a quantity limit on how backordered the item can be.

Configurable, Grouped and Bundle Product Inventory

These "Parent" product types do not have a quantity of their own. Instead, when tracking inventory, they will only be In Stock if all of their Variation Products or Group/Bundle Items are in stock.
