Fine-Tune Your WooCommerce Inventory with Stock Triggers Pro #

Managing stock levels in your WooCommerce store is crucial for a smooth customer experience. Stock Triggers Pro offers a powerful set of tools to automate this process and ensure your inventory stays accurate.

Enabling Stock Triggers Pro #

Once you’ve activated the plugin, you’ll gain access to a dedicated section for configuring stock triggers.

Decreasing Stock on Specific Events #

Stock Triggers Pro allows you to decrease stock levels based on various triggers. Stock will only be deducted once, on the first trigger that’s met.

Available Triggers #

• Checkout order processed: Stock decreases when an order is placed.
• Order Status: Choose from various order statuses to trigger stock reduction, including Cancelled, Completed, Draft, Failed, On Hold, Pending payment, Processing, and Refunded. (Note: We recommend disabling Completed, On Hold, and Processing for automatic stock decrease as these can be duplicated by the “Checkout order processed” trigger)
• Payment complete: Stock decreases when payment is confirmed.

Custom Triggers: For advanced users, you can define custom triggers using code snippets.

Remove Standard Triggers: This option allows you to disable the default WooCommerce “Decrease Stock” triggers if they conflict with your configurations.

Advanced Options #

• Force order stock update: Enable this if you encounter issues with stock not updating automatically after order changes.
• Require Specific Products: Refine stock reduction by requiring it only for specific products (e.g., “Laptop”).
• Require Specific Product Categories: Alternatively, you can target stock reduction based on product categories (e.g., exclude “Uncategorized”).

Benefits of Stock Triggers Pro #

• Automated Stock Management: Saves you time and effort by automatically adjusting stock levels.
• Improved Accuracy: Ensures your inventory reflects actual stock availability.
• Enhanced Customer Experience: Prevents overselling and avoids order cancellations due to unavailable stock.
• Flexibility: Tailor stock reduction triggers to your specific store workflows.

With Stock Triggers Pro, you gain control over your WooCommerce inventory and ensure a smooth shopping experience for your customers.

Stock Triggers #

This is the core functionality of the plugin, allowing you to automate stock adjustments based on specific events.

Stock Adjustments #

The plugin offers two options for stock adjustments #

• Decrease Stock: This lowers the stock level of a product when a trigger event occurs.
  

• Enable Section: Enables this functionality.
• Triggers: Select the events (e.g., order completion, payment received) that will trigger a stock decrease. 
• Note: The free version only allows selecting pre-defined triggers.

• Increase Stock: This increases the stock level of a product, but only if it was previously decreased using the plugin.
  

• Enable Section: Enables this functionality.
• Triggers: Similar to Decrease Stock, choose the events that will trigger a stock increase. 
• Note: The free version has limitations on trigger selection.

Additional Options #

• Remove Standard Triggers (Decrease/Increase): Disables WooCommerce’s default stock adjustment triggers, allowing you to rely solely on the plugin’s triggers.
• Advanced: Force Order Stock Update: Enables an option to potentially resolve issues with stock not updating correctly.
• Require Products/Categories: Lets you define specific products or product categories that will be affected by the stock triggers (not available in the free version).

Custom Triggers (Pro Version) #

The free version has limitations regarding triggers. Upgrading to the Pro version unlocks features like #

• Custom Order Statuses: Allows adding custom order statuses (created within WooCommerce) as triggers.
• Custom Triggers: Enables defining triggers based on specific WooCommerce actions (requires technical knowledge).
