# Inventory Management for Variants

Inventory management lets you keep track of how many you have of each variant of a product. This is especially useful for products with multiple variations, such as different sizes or colours.

## How to enable inventory management for variants

1.  Go to **Products → Variants**
2.  Select the relevant variant group (e.g. "Size")
3.  Enable inventory management for this group
4.  Click **Save changes**

Once inventory management is enabled, you can enter stock levels per variant on the product page.

## How to set stock levels

1.  Go to **Products → Products** and open the desired product
2.  Go to the **Variants** tab
3.  Enter the quantity in stock for each variant value
4.  Click **Save changes**

**Example:** The product has the variant "Size" with the values S, M, L and XL. You enter 10 pcs for M, 5 pcs for L and 0 pcs for XL. The system displays this clearly, and customers cannot order variants that are out of stock.

## Good to know

-   Inventory management is enabled per variant group, not per product. All products that use an inventory-managed variant group will have inventory management.
-   Stock levels are updated automatically when orders are completed.
-   If you do not need inventory management, leave it disabled — customers can then order regardless of stock levels.
