# How do I track and restock inventory?

> Set max and current stock on products or variants, restock, and read the low-stock and sold-out labels.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * Available on plans that include **Store** — if you don't see it, ask your Uplifter contact.
  * Leaving inventory blank means **unlimited stock** that never counts down.
  * For a simple product, restock three ways: add to current, set an exact number, or restore to max. Variant products set an exact quantity **per option** instead.
  * **Low Stock** and **Sold out** labels are display-only — no alert or email is sent.
  * Cancelling or refunding an order does **not** return its items to stock automatically — adjust inventory yourself with **Restock** whenever an order is cancelled or refunded.
</Note>

## Setting stock levels

When you create or edit a product, choose whether to track inventory. For a simple product, turn off **Unlimited Inventory** and enter a **Max Inventory** and **Current Stock**. For a product with variants, each option has its own **Max** and **Current** fields — the parent product's stock is cleared because the variants own it. Leaving the fields blank keeps that item unlimited, and it never decrements on a sale.

## Restocking

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the restock dialog">
    On **Store → Products**, click the **Restock** button in a product's Inventory column.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the new stock">
    For a **simple product**, choose a restock type — **Add to current stock**, **Set exact quantity**, or **Restore to max** (shown only when the item has a max set) — then type the quantity. For a **product with variants**, there's no mode picker: the dialog lists each option with its own field, and you type the new exact quantity for each one you want to restock.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update stock">
    Click **Update Stock** to apply the change. Each adjustment is recorded automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reading the labels

In the admin product list, a **simple product** shows a **Low Stock** badge once stock drops to about 20% of its max, and **Sold out** at zero. A variant product shows each option's count (or **Sold out**) but no Low Stock badge, so watch those numbers directly. On the storefront, buyers get a low-stock warning when 5 or fewer of a specific item remain and a sold-out marker at zero — the exact wording varies by page. While browsing products, low stock reads **Only N left!** and sold-out items get a **Sold Out** overlay; on a product's own page it reads **Only N left in stock** (or **Only N left** for a single option) with a **Sold out** badge. A variant product shown before an option is picked displays a combined **N left** across its options. These are visual cues only — Uplifter sends no low-stock notification, so check the list regularly.
