Create a stock location\n\n-   Open the **StoreConnect App** in Salesforce.\n\n-   Go to **StoreConnect Navigation \u003e Configuration \u003e Stores**, then select your store.\n\n-   Under the **Key Relationships** section, click **Stock Locations**.\n\n-   Click **New** to create a stock location:\n\n    -   Give it a **Name** (e.g., *Warehouse*).\n\n    -   Mark it as **Active**.\n\n    -   Enter the **Physical Address** (used for calculating shipping if enabled).\n\n    -   Choose its **Fulfillment Option**:\n\n        -   *Shipping only*, *Click \u0026 Collect only*, *Both*, or *Not used*.\n\n    -   Optional Settings:\n\n        -   Automatically create stock levels for all new products.\n\n        -   Allow backorders if no stock is available.\n\n        -   Hide products in search (if needed).\n\n    -   Set **Priority** (e.g., 1 = default location if multiple exist).\n\n-   Click **Save**.\n\n\n## 2\\. Enable stock tracking\n\n-   Navigate to **Products** and select the product you want to track (e.g., *Steve’s Mystery Box*).\n\n-   Click **Edit**.\n\n-   Scroll to the **Stock Information** section and check **Track Inventory**.\n\n-   Optional settings:\n\n    -   Track serial numbers (for POS).\n\n    -   Require a deposit instead of full payment at checkout.\n\n-   Click **Save**.\n\n\n## 3\\. Enter or adjust stock levels\n\n-   After enabling inventory tracking, StoreConnect will automatically create a **Stock Level Record** for the product.\n\n-   Open the **Stock Level Record** and click **Edit**.\n\n-   To set the **initial stock quantity**:\n\n    -   Use the **Set Quantity** field (e.g., enter `35`).\n\n    -   Click **Save**.\n\n\nThis populates two key fields:\n\n-   **Count on Hand** – The physical stock at the location.\n\n-   **Available to Sell** – The number currently available for online purchase.\n\n\n---\n\n## Adjust stock over time\n\n-   To **add or subtract stock**, always use the **Change Quantity** field:\n\n    -   To add stock: enter a **positive number** (e.g., `+5`).\n\n    -   To remove stock: enter a **negative number** (e.g., `-5`).\n\n    -   Click **Save**.\n\n\n*Never directly edit “Count on Hand” or “Available to Sell” — doing so bypasses adjustment records and will be overwritten later.*\n\n## Inventory audits \u0026 re-counts\n\n-   When doing a full stock **inventory recount**:\n\n    -   Use the **New Inventory Count** field to enter the correct number.\n\n    -   Set the **Inventory Date**.\n\n    -   Click **Save**.\n\n\nThis creates a proper **inventory adjustment record**, ensuring accurate tracking.\n\n## View stock adjustment history\n\n-   In the **Stock Level Record**, go to the **Related tab**.\n\n-   You'll see a complete **history of all adjustments**:\n\n    -   Initial setup\n\n    -   Quantity increases/decreases\n\n    -   Inventory recounts\n\n\nThis provides full **audit trails** for stock management.\n\n## Confirm product availability\n\n-   Return to the **Product page**.\n\n-   Once stock has been added, the product will now be **purchasable** in your store.\n\n-   Customers can see it, add it to cart, and complete checkout."}
