Know when to reorder
Set a reorder level on each product, see what is running low on the Inventory overview and order more in a click.
A reorder level is the quantity at which you want to buy more. When stock drops to it, the product is marked Low and listed under To reorder, so nothing runs out by surprise.
Steps
-
Edit the product. Open it from Inventory → Products and click Edit.
Edit the product -

Tip The reorder level is a warning, not a limit. You can still sell below it, and below zero if a delivery is late.
Good to know
- Leave the reorder level empty for products you don't restock; they only show when they run out.
- With several warehouses, the level is compared with the total across all of them.
