Overview
The Reserve stock feature limits the available inventory to sync your online platforms by subtracting a reserve stock value from the available quantity.
This strategy can protect against overselling risks or retain store inventory on the shelf so that it does not sell out completely when also available online. Most retailers believe that their inventory is not accurate, so this approach can also save them from the inherent inaccuracies that crop up at retail.
Reserve stock by Location
Method | Effect |
Per Location | Single value subtracted from the inventory quantities for all products in each location |
Example: If you enter a value of 2 in the settings shown below, Mortar will remove 2 units of inventory from the value your Shopify customers see available to buy each time inventory is updated.
Tip If you need more granular control, consider Reserve stock by Product. Access to Reserve stock by SKU is available on Scale and Enterprise plans.
Step-by-step
Reserve stock Location values for each location can be set within the Mortar app on Shopify.
Once you have changed the Reserve stock location value, make sure to click save. Mortar does NOT automatically resync your existing products to reflect your Reserve Stock update, so if needed, please contact our support team and request a resync.
