how to enable inventory tracking on shopify

Hello and welcome to another episode my name is Christian from BitBranding and,today we're gonna go over how to manage your inventory and Shopify first thing,one do is head over to products and then inside of products you'll see this,drop-down list you may have already added some of the products and I've,already created this products with inventory in mind,so think about inventory as you know you have physical goods and these physical,goods live in a storage maybe your garage maybe you have in an actual you,know facility the handles a lot of these things but you want to make sure that,you tracking the inventory because Shopify automatically deducts,inventory based off of when someone purchases the product so that part is,automatic what's not automatic is actually adding inventory into your,store so I'm just gonna walk through really quickly how to do that now if you,see here the colorful bones already have a 12 inventory 1212 in stock as far as,inventory now if I click on that under scroll down here to the bottom you'll,see that under inventory I have a check mark to track inventory and then the,quantity have 12 available if you have variants and then we can go ahead and,add that right here so you'll see maybe we sell this buy the,box so maybe small medium and large now because we did that we only had 12 in,inventory it will just assign it to that first one so let's say maybe we just,have six of these we have six of these and six and it's safe that's how you add,inventory and at inventory to your variant at the same time if you don't,have variants then all you have to worry about is just the regular inventory now,when it comes to changing some of these once you have your variants set up then,you just hit on the arrows up and down to let it know that you have new,shipments or more quantity of that particular item now I'm gonna go ahead,and save that and I'm gonna show you when you create brand new products so I,add a new product you would go through the same process of adding the name,description images pricing and things like that now when it comes to inventory,here this will probably be are already automatically checked for you track,quantity if you don't want to track quantity obviously you would just,uncheck that but when you click on track quantity it gives you the option for you,to add the quantity that you have on hand another thing if you receive,shipments pretty often then you can probably check mark this one which is,continues to sell the products even when they're out of stock from your Shopify,store maybe you're during a busy season you actually have shipments coming in,and you know that you will have these shipments coming in then you can,probably check mark that because you'll probably be able to turn those orders,around pretty quickly that's about it once you click on track quantity the,quantity will be there now like just like I said previously if you add the,variants this product has multiple options like different sizes or colors,then you would have to do that individually for each variants so we did,the size maybe we can change this to color and we have blue red green and it,works the same way as before you would have to manually come in here and change,the quantity of those variants within here that's it you just saved the,product and I'm gonna cancel out of that or discard that new product discard,changes and then here at a glance you will be,able to see in Shopify is kind of cool because it shows you on yellow that,you're running low in stock for this particular item and it will just show,you right here within the inventory if you're not tracking the inventory it,will just show you an an A so that you're not tracking inventory for that,particular item you can also go to the inventory tab over here and if you deal,with large and volumes of different products and different things like that,you can just go straight to inventory and add your inventories as that they,come in essentially so you can add let's say you getting 20 of these you can,click on save and I'll switch it to you have those available now when it comes,to those variants it will break it down here to a small large medium on those,variants so you can add those individually within the inventory tab so,the inventory tab is very useful if you have large amount of product within your,store so that's it very important to keep track of your inventory just to,make sure that you don't sell out and like I said Shopify automatically takes,care of deducting those items once people actually purchase on your store,thank you for watching this tutorial on how to manage your inventory within your,Shopify store if you enjoyed this episode or want to learn a little bit,more about inventory tracking then let me know in the comments down below also,leave a like on our video and subscribe if you enjoy this and you want to learn,more about Shopify as we'll be releasing new videos on Shopify on our channel,thank you.
