The Inventory add-on lets you track stock levels, view a full movement history, receive low-stock alerts, and print barcode labels. It is the foundation for Multi-Location, POS, Purchase Orders, and Returns.

Plan: Free   Add-on: Inventory   Where: StoreEngine → Inventory

What You Can Do

• See all tracked products and current stock levels in one dashboard.
• Manually adjust stock — set, add, or remove quantity — with a reason and note.
• View a full movement history: every sale, return, correction, and received delivery.
• Get a daily email when products fall below their low-stock threshold.
• Store a barcode on any product or variation, bulk-generate barcodes, and print barcode labels — all free.

Step 1 — Turn On Inventory

1. Go to StoreEngine → Add-ons.
2. Find Inventory and toggle it on.

Step 2 — Track Stock on a Product

Open any product for editing and scroll down to the Stock section. You will see the following fields:

Stock section in the product editor

3. Enter a SKU and Barcode if needed (click the … button to auto-generate).
4. Toggle on Track stock quantity for this product — this auto-enables when you set a quantity.
5. Enter the Stock quantity.
6. (Optional) Set a Low stock threshold — the level at which the product is flagged as running low.
7. Set the Stock status — In stock, Out of stock, or On backorder.
8. Each variation (e.g. size, color) has its own SKU, Barcode, Cost, and stock tracking fields. Changes to one variation’s stock do not affect other variations.
9. Save.

Step 3 — Adjust Stock Manually

When you need to correct stock after a count, receive goods, or write off damaged items, use the Adjust Stock feature so your history stays accurate.

10. Go to StoreEngine → Inventory → Stock.
11. Find the product in the list — you can filter by Low stock only to focus on items that need restocking.
12. Click Adjust in the Actions column.

StoreEngine → Inventory → Stock — click Adjust next to any product

13. In the Adjust stock popup, choose an Action: Set to (overwrite to exact number), Add (increase), or Remove (decrease).
14. Enter the Quantity.
15. Choose a Reason: Manual, Received, Damaged, Return, or Correction.
16. (Optional) Add a Note for your records.
17. Click Apply.

Barcodes

Every product and variation gets a Barcode field when Inventory is on. You can type or scan a code into it directly in the product editor.

To create barcodes in bulk, use the Generate barcodes button inside the product editor under the variations section. To print labels, go to StoreEngine → Inventory → Barcode Labels, paste a list of SKUs or barcodes, and print directly from your browser — no special software or fonts needed.

Low-Stock Email

StoreEngine sends a nightly digest email listing all products below their low-stock threshold. By default the email goes to your site admin email address. Set a low-stock threshold on each product to make sure the right items show up in the alert.
