For a commercial business, it is a legitimate requirement for the customer to know the stock levels of its products. And in some cases, for accounting reasons, stock information for a particular day may also be required. Here is a summary of how Webshippy can help you with this.
Stock quantity statement
In the admin interface of Webshippy's system, all our customers can keep track of their product stocks. The system always shows the current quantity of products in real time.
As orders are processed continuously on working days, this stock quantity is constantly changing depending on the processing of orders. So, the current stock quantity (the "All" column in the list) still includes the quantities of orders that are being processed or are in the process of being processed, but no longer includes the quantities of orders that are in the "Fulfilled" status.
The current stock quantity of products - in the form of a table - can be exported from our system at any time. You can find detailed information on this on the following page:

If you need the quantity of the closing stock for a particular day, we recommend that you request the stock report when the processing of orders has been completed. This can be an end-of-day status, but can also be done by pausing the processing of unprocessed orders for the day ("Set" status) or postponing it (e.g. to the next working day). (If you set it to "Set", don't forget to set the status of orders to "Packable" on the next working day.)
Inventory
In Webshippy's system, the term "Inventory" is not used to retrieve a current stock status, but to check the current stock quantity. This is a paid service that we perform at the request of our customers at a pre-arranged time.
If a specific daily inventory is required for accounting reasons, we recommend that you request the current stock of your products as described above in the "Stock statement" section.
If you have any other requests, please record a Customer Service ticket in the issue via the admin interface.
