Set Stock Status

Bulk mark products as in stock, out of stock, or on backorder. Update stock management and backorder rules across your catalog in one action.

Set the availability of many products at once. Mark a batch as out of stock during a supplier delay, reopen items when stock returns, or switch made-to-order products to backorder. This action changes the status flag only, not the actual quantity.

Set the status

1. Select products

   Check the products you want to update. Or use filters and select all matching results.

2. Open Bulk Edit and choose Set Stock Status

   Click Bulk Editing, then search for “Stock Status” or find it under Inventory & Shipping.

3. Pick the status

   Choose In Stock, Out of Stock, or On Backorder.

4. Configure options and apply

   Optionally update stock management and backorder settings, then click Apply.
