to edit what the customer sees. This is a good to notify
customers of inventory availability.

still keep track of the amount of stock for each item, but the

inventory in stock.

administrator of the shop will still be emailed when stock is

Show Inventory
Counts to Shoppers This allows you to show

administrators use this to create a sense of urgency on the
part of the customer. Other shop administrators prefer to keep
their inventory counts hidden.
