In PrestaShop 1.4, you could manually set the quantity of product available for sale. In PrestaShop 1.5 and 1.6, you can still set the quantity manually for each product. But once advanced stock management is also enabled, you can also automatically set the quantity depending on the current quantity status of the physical product. Note that it is possible to enable advanced stock management globally, yet only use it for one product or just a few. |
When the "Enable stock management" option is enabled (in the "Preferences > Products" page), all the products get a new tab in their administration page, called "Quantities". This clear and simple interface enables you to manage the available quantities for sale on your shop(s) for a given product, and any potential combination.
This page With only this option enabled, you can manage the product quantities for individual products, one by one.
If you prefer to have all your product quantities managed directly from PrestaShop's advanced stock management feature rather than on a product basis, you have to enable another option from the "Preferences > Products" page: "Enable advanced stock management".
The "Quantity" tab opens with an explanatory section, which we urge you to fully read. That section is followed by the quantities management interface itself, which opens with three options:
- I want to use the advanced stock management system for this product.
- Available The available quantities for current product and its combinations are based on stock in the your warehouses.
- I want to specify available quantities manually.
...
If you'd rather synchronize the available quantities with your warehouse stock (ou that of several warehouses), you have to change the quantities management method:
...
As soon as you have selected the second option, the table's "Quantity" column cannot be edited anymore: quantities are now directly handled from your stockthe advanced stock management feature rather than from each product's "Quantities" tab.

Product packs are a special case. Since it is not yet possible to add product combinations to a pack, the PrestaShop developers have decided that when necessary, PrestaShop would use the default combination when decrementing the physical stock. Also, a notice indicates the recommended maximal number of packs. |
