Inventory Management

Stock that counts itself.

NodeCart tracks stock automatically: every sale decrements, every refund restocks, every reservation holds inventory until payment or expiry. Low-stock alerts warn you before you run out. Out-of-stock products disappear from your shop instantly. You sleep knowing tomorrow's orders will actually be fulfilable.

The problem

Manual stock tracking breaks the moment you get busy

You have stock in your store room, on a display shelf, and at a pop-up. A customer orders online. You think you have one left. You do not. You cancel the order, apologise, and let someone down. Or worse: you sell the same item twice. Counting stock by hand works until it does not — and "does not" always happens at the worst time.

FAQ

Common questions.

What happens if I oversell?
With stock tracking enabled, overselling is prevented. The product shows "Out of stock" the moment the last unit sells.
Can I track stock across multiple locations?
Currently we track one total count per variant. Multi-location tracking is on our roadmap for Business plan users.
Do I have to enable stock tracking?
No. For made-to-order or digital products, you can disable tracking and sell unlimited quantities.
