    Magelia WebStore lets you manage several product stocks.

    • DO enter the minimum stock and minimum virtual stock. These are the two most important settings for online sales. Other information is optional.

    How to ? Differentiate between different stocks ?
    - Stock virtuel : Virtual stock corresponds to the available stock on sale on a website.
    - Minimum stock : When an inventory of a product falls below the minimum stock, it can no longer be sold.
    - Real stock : Real stock corresponds to the available merchandise that is actually in the warehouse. Sales do not affect the real stock level. The real stock is not taken into account in the calculations, you must manually manage the stock. - Reorder Level: This is a simple piece of information that enables the seller to make a list of products that are below the inventory level and the reorder level.

    • To sell products that are not in stock, you must define a virtual stock of 0 (zero) and a negative minimum stock. If you define a virtual stock of 0 and a negative stock of -50, you can sell 50 products.
    • What is the role of real stock if it’s not taken into account for stock calculations? This allows you to manage the real stock and decrease it only when products have been removed from the warehouse or when they’ve been shipped for delivery.
    • What is the role of the reorder level? This simple piece of information allows you to plan a re-stock or re-ordering of products.
    • Insider info : Can products be available in certain stock but not available online ? This is possible in two cases:
      • If products are not assigned to an available catalog online.
      • If no shipping fee is defined between the warehouse from where the products will be shipped and the shipping zone of the customer (or the default shipping zone defined for the shipping country of the customer).
    • Insider info : If a product is available in several warehouses, how does the system choose a warehouse? Magelia WebStore tries to group as many products together in order to be able to ship from one warehouse. Therefore, if all the products from one order could be shipped from the same warehouse, Magelia WebStore would choose this option.
    • The rules for determining a warehouse can be extremely complex and specific for a seller. We have established simple rules for determining a warehouse, but it is possible to expand the solutions by using specific developments. It is important to familiarize yourself with the side-effects.
