Buffer Stock
Buffer stock is the number of goods that are not originally planned for consumption but are stocked for emergency use. This can also be thought of as the minimum amount of stock you want to keep in stock. For example, if you have sold out of goods but have not yet replenished the goods, this buffer stock will be used as part of the inventory.
After adding buffer inventory, the number of available goods on the sales channel will decrease compared to the original actual inventory, and the reduced quantity will be the same in all Shops associated with this product.
Note: Buffer inventory is often used in big promotions on the platform to avoid overselling and being penalized or reduced by the platform.
To add buffer stock, follow these instructions:
Step 1: Go to Inventory -> All Products -> Quick View (eye icon on the right side of the screen)
Step 2: Update stock
Update buffer stock quantity (quantity must be less than actual inventory) -> Save changes
So finished adding Buffer Stock. When you have sold out of stock and have not yet replenished the goods, you can follow the above steps and adjust Buffer Stock, now you can use this goods.
Additional Stock
Additional inventory is the number of goods that can be replenished to keep up with the sales schedule. Usually used when you sign up for promotions but must commit to a minimum amount of inventory with the floor eg (Flash sales, discount golden hour …), while the actual inventory is not committed enough.
When using this configuration, you must combine it with the Continue selling when out of stock option in order for the system to allow you to oversell. If you do not activate the product at the same time, the product will be discontinued/discontinued as soon as the actual stock runs out.
Note: This configuration works independently for each Shop even though the same product is in stock.
For a product that you are preparing to stock or have the ability to replenish in time for sales, add it in this Additional Inventory.
Step 1: Go to Catalogue –> Stock Information
Step 2: Add the number of products that are about to be stocked, check the “Continue to sell when out of stock” section if you want to continue selling this product while waiting for the goods to be stocked.
