Changing inventory quantities (Shopify admin)

When you use multiple locations, you can update the inventory quantities in several ways on the Inventory page in your Shopify admin.

Note

For more accurate inventory tracking, verify that Shopify tracks this product's quantity is selected in the Inventory policy list so that you can see and change the inventory quantities.

Steps:

1. In the Shopify admin, go to Products > Inventory.

2. If you have multiple locations, then select a location from the drop down menu.

3. Optional: Filter or search the list of products.

4. You can adjust the available quantity of a single variant or multiple variants by the same amount.

   • To adjust a single variant, enter the quantity in the Edit quantity available column.
   • To adjust multiple variants by the same amount, select the variants you want to edit and click More actions > Update quantity.

5. Change the inventory quantity.

   • To adjust the quantity by a specific amount, click Add and then enter a number. You can use a negative number to subtract from existing inventory quantity.
   • To set a new total inventory count, click Set and then enter a number.

6. Click Save. The new total is in the Available column.

If a product is not listed for that location, then you're either not tracking inventory for that product, or the product isn’t stocked at the location.

The way that you update the quantity for a single product depends on whether the product has variants.
