Adding Attribute Stock using Rules
↑ Back to top- You can apply attribute stock to specific products, categories, and tags. This way, attributes can be applied to individual products instead of being shared across multiple variable products.
- Reduce stock in multiple items.
- Create multiple groups of attributes and add a shared attribute for the stock.

- Adding a stock SKU
- Setting the stock quantity
- Adding internal notes
- Entering a low stock threshold (if left empty, the default WooCommerce value will be used)
- Matching all groups if you have multiple attribute groups and want to reduce the quantity for each group separately
Assign Inventory Attributes
In this section, you have the option to create multiple groups to assign stock to various attributes. Each group can contain multiple attributes, allowing you to assign stock to combinations of 2, 3, or more attributes.
Let’s create a group for selling custom-printed hoodies. As the hoodies and other clothing items are sold based on a combination of two attributes – Size and Color – you can add both attributes to the group and select Large for Size and Blue for Color. Since this combination represents a single item, you can set the Quantity Multiple to 0.5 to reduce the stock by 1 when sold.
