# Additional Tips for Stock Triggers

To keep automatic stock updates reliable in Automated Stock Update Triggers for WooCommerce, test each trigger change with a real order, and enable Debug in the Admin sub-section so each change is written to WooCommerce > Status > Logs. Keep Remove standard triggers on to avoid double handling, and select only the statuses your store uses.

- **Test with a real order:** after changing triggers, place a test order and move it through the statuses you rely on. Confirm the stock number changes as expected before going live.
- **Use Debug while testing:** enable **Debug** in the Admin sub-section so each reduce and restore is written to **WooCommerce > Status > Logs** (source `stock-triggers`). Turn it off once everything checks out.
- **Keep "Remove standard triggers" on:** the default (on) prevents WooCommerce's own stock reduction from running alongside your triggers, which avoids double handling.
- **Match triggers to your workflow:** only select statuses your store actually uses, so stock moves at the moment you intend.
- **Try changes on staging first:** validate any new trigger setup on a copy of your store before applying it to the live site.
