# Add Decrease and Increase Stock Bulk Actions to the Orders List

To adjust stock for several orders at once, enable the bulk actions in [Automated Stock Update Triggers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/stock-triggers-for-woocommerce/). This adds **Decrease stock** and **Increase stock** to the Bulk actions dropdown on the WooCommerce orders list. The feature is free.

### Before you start

- WooCommerce, active.
- Access to the orders list (works with both the classic orders screen and the HPOS orders screen).

### Turn it on

1. Go to **WPFactory > Stock Triggers** (also reachable at **WooCommerce > Settings > Stock Triggers**), then open the **Admin** sub-section.
2. Enable **Bulk actions** (`alg_wc_stock_triggers_shop_order_bulk_actions`).
3. Click **Save changes**.

### Use it

1. Go to **WooCommerce > Orders**.
2. Select the orders you want to process with the checkboxes.
3. In the **Bulk actions** dropdown, choose **Decrease stock** or **Increase stock**, then click **Apply**.
4. A notice reports how many orders were processed.

**How it behaves:** both actions use WooCommerce's "maybe" stock functions, so Decrease stock reduces stock for orders that have not already been reduced, and Increase stock restores stock that was previously reduced. This respects WooCommerce's own guard against double counting.

### When this is useful

- Correcting stock after a batch of orders was imported or edited outside the normal flow.
- Restoring stock for a group of cancelled orders in one step.

### Get more control

Bulk stock actions are free in [Automated Stock Update Triggers for WooCommerce](https://wpfactory.com/item/stock-triggers-for-woocommerce/). The Pro version adds custom triggers and custom order statuses for your automatic rules. [See what Pro unlocks](https://wpfactory.com/item/stock-triggers-for-woocommerce/).
