Inventory Management Overview

Fuze Store has two layers of stock tools. Basic product stock is available on every store. Multi-location inventory ops need the paid Inventory Management add-on.

Basic stock does not need the add-on

Turning on Manage Inventory on a product, setting quantity and a low-stock level, and letting the register deduct stock on sale all work without the Inventory Management add-on. You manage that from the product form (and product list badges), not from the Inventory module in the app drawer.

Inventory Management add-on

Add-on required. This feature requires the Inventory Management add-on to be active on your store. View add-ons

Not included in the free trial

Inventory Management is one of the few add-ons not unlocked during a free trial (Organization Management is the other). To use it, enable the add-on when a saved payment method is on file — add-ons are not limited to paid plan tiers.

The add-on unlocks the Inventory module in the app (drawer hub) and the multi-location operations built around it:

How stock works day to day

  1. On a product, turn on Manage Inventory and set the initial quantity (and optional low-stock level).
  2. When a cashier rings up an order that includes the product, the system deducts (or reserves) stock at the default sale location.
  3. You can check quantity on the product detail screen anytime.
  4. With the Inventory Management add-on, use the Inventory hub for transfers, POs, counts, and multi-location stock.

Getting started

  1. Enable Manage Inventory when creating or editing a product.
