In the WooCommerce POS System, we have provided the master stock inventory system and a centralized stock inventory system. Using which the admin can assign the stock to the POS products and WooCommerce online store products accordingly.

Master Stock Inventory :

If the POS has been configured to the Master Stock Inventory, then the master stock inventory rule will be followed. The admin can configure the same by navigating to “Point of Sale > Settings > General Settings > Select Inventory Type”.

For example – The admin has allocated a master stock of 500 units for a particular product. Now, the admin has the capability to designate the Point of Sale (POS) stock for that product, making it available for a specific outlet from the existing stock.

I have assigned 500 as master stock to a product.

Now there is 500 stock remaining for the product from which I have assigned POS stock to three different POS outlets.

POS outlet 1 – 20 stock

POS outlet 2 – 10 stock

POS outlet 3 – 50 stock

Now, POS stock assigned to the product = 20+10+50 = 80

So, available stock = 500-80 = 420

POS outlet 1:

POS outlet 2:

POS outlet 3:

Note: You have to assign the stock quantity to a product for the WooCommerce Online store as it is mandatory and without providing the stock quantity to the product for an online store the user can’t assign the product stock for the POS outlets accordingly.

Centralized Stock Inventory :

If the POS has been configured to the Centralized Stock inventory, then the centralized inventory rule will be followed. The admin can configure the same by navigating to “Point of Sale > Settings > General Settings > Select Inventory Type”.

In this case, the inventory for the website and the POS will be common.

The admin can provide inventory for the product while adding a product or while editing a product as below image :

And the same inventory will be displayed in the outlet as well. Check the below image for reference :

Once you place an order in POS like the below image :
