Continue Selling when Out of Stock (Inventory Policy)

The 'Continue selling when out of stock' field indicates whether a product variant can be sold if it is no longer in stock. You can use Ablestar Bulk Product Editor to enable or disable this option.

Choose if you prefer the 'In-App Edit' or 'Spreadsheet' method:

1. In-App Edits

From the 'Configure modifications' view, select 'Continue Selling when Out of Stock' option from the 'Field to Edit' dropdown and then choose the option needed:

2. Spreadsheet Edits

Spreadsheet uploads can be used with the following values:

• Continue - Continue selling when out of stock
• Deny - Don't continue selling when out of stock

The values are case-insensitive and leading/trailing spaces will be removed. All new or modified data that is found on the spreadsheet will be processed and added to your store.

There is also an option to upload a spreadsheet to skip unchanged values, which will make the import faster if most of the data you’re updating is unchanged.

Learn how to skip unchanged values and increase speed on uploads.

✅ Tips and Troubleshooting

• This field is ignored if the variant's inventory is not being tracked. If the inventory is not being tracked the item cannot be out of stock
• Because of how it's named in the API, this field is sometimes called the variant's "Inventory Policy"
