Manage and update stock

Find a product in DZBuild Stock Management, open its combinations and update the available quantity. Follow the screenshot tutorial for restocking.

Written by Support

Use this page when new stock arrives or you need to correct a quantity. First, enable stock tracking on the product.

The Stock Management add-on is available on the Free plan and above. It is paused on stores using the Digital theme.

1. Open Stock Management

If you have not activated it yet:

  1. Open Dashboard → Add-ons.

  2. Find Advanced Stock Management (Gestion avancée du stock) under Inventory.

  3. Press Activate.

  4. Open Stock Management from the sidebar.

Only products with stock tracking enabled appear here. The add-on does not enable tracking for you.

2. Find your product

Search by the product name or product SKU. If it does not appear, clear the stock filter and try again.

The example below is our saved sports-shoe product. It has 20 pairs across four combinations. The screenshots show the real French dashboard with demonstration data.

For a product with variants or combinations, press Details (Détails) to see the individual quantities.

Saved demonstration product expanded to show its four combinations and stock

Check: you are looking at the right product, colour and size. Green + 40 has 8 pairs; Black + 41 has 0.

3. Enter the new quantity

Suppose 4 more Green + 40 pairs arrive. You had 8, so your new total is 12.

  1. Press the quantity 8, or its pencil, beside Green + 40.

  2. Replace it with 12.

  3. Press the check mark to save. On a keyboard, you can press Enter.

The stock quantity opened for editing, with save and cancel controls

The field is open with the old quantity 8. Replace it with 12, then save.

Enter the new total, not the delivery quantity. Entering 4 would replace the stock with 4.

The cross cancels the edit. On a keyboard, Escape also cancels.

For a product using simple stock, press its quantity directly in the main row. There is no combination detail to open.

4. Check after saving

Wait for the saved message, then reload the page and search for the product again.

Check: Green + 40 now shows 12. The other quantities should be unchanged. Its total would now be 24 pairs.

A buyer who already has the storefront open may need to refresh it to see the new availability.

What the stock numbers mean

Display

Meaning

Product stock

One quantity for the whole product.

Variant stock

A separate quantity for each option.

Combination stock

A separate quantity for each colour and size together.

0

That tracked item is sold out.

Unlimited

No fixed quantity has been entered for that option.

The headline total sums the tracked options or combinations. Unlimited quantities do not add units to that total. Open Details if a total does not match what you expected.

Do not replace every combination with the total stock of the whole product. Enter each combination's own quantity.

When orders reduce stock

Open Orders → Display settings using the gear button. In Stock deduction, choose:

  • At order confirmation: the default.

  • As soon as the order arrives: stock is reduced from receipt of a new order, before confirmation.

Save the setting. This applies to the store, not just the product you are editing, and only to new orders: orders already waiting are deducted when you confirm them. A team member needs permission to edit orders to change it.

Cancelling an order, or marking it returned yourself, restores the stock that was deducted for it. When a courier returns a parcel, the stock comes back once the parcel is back with you: the courier confirms it, you press Return received in the order window, or 15 days pass, whichever comes first. The Sold and Returned columns show recorded activity; they are not fields for adding new stock.

Find items that need attention

Use In stock, Low stock or Out of stock to narrow the list. A product counts as out of stock at 0 or below and as low stock at 5 units or fewer, or at its own alert level if one was set through the API. You can also sort by quantity, name or best sellers.

You can edit a product or option's SKU using its pencil. Keep your reference codes distinct; a duplicate badge helps you spot repeated codes.

If you get stuck

Problem

What to do

Product missing

Enable stock tracking in its editor, save, then clear the filters here.

Total cannot be edited

Press Details and edit the option or combination quantity.

Unlimited quantity has no pencil

Open the product editor and enter a fixed quantity there.

Wrong quantity after restocking

Enter old stock plus the new delivery, not just the delivery amount.

Save failed

Keep the intended quantity noted, read the error and retry after correcting it. Reload to confirm the saved value.

Add-on is paused

Stock Management is not active on the Digital theme.
