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.
