Accessing the Inventory Manager

↑ Back to top

After installation and activation, the plugin integrates seamlessly into your WooCommerce product workflow:

  • Go to WooCommerce → Products → All Products in your WordPress dashboard.
  • You will notice the default product table is now enhanced with additional columns for stock quantity, SKU, regular price, sale price, and stock status.
  • Each column is editable inline, allowing you to quickly update product data without the need to open multiple product edit screens.

This design saves time and reduces the risk of inconsistencies by allowing you to manage all product inventory details from one place.

Editing Inventory Inline

  • Click the field to enable editing.
  • Enter the new stock quantity.
  • Press Enter or click outside the field to save.
  • The change is immediately reflected in WooCommerce stock data.

Editing Price and Sale Price

Managing multiple products at once can be time-consuming if done individually. This plugin’s bulk edit feature is designed to handle batch updates efficiently.

How to Bulk Edit:

↑ Back to top

  • Click the Bulk Edit dropdown menu above the table.
  • Choose the property you want to update — such as stock status, quantity, price, or SKU.
  • Enter the new value.
  • Click Apply to update all selected products simultaneously.

This is especially useful when preparing for seasonal sales, restocking large product groups, or adjusting prices during promotions.

Track Inventory Changes with Logs

↑ Back to top

To help you maintain accountability and transparency, the plugin logs all stock changes made through the interface.

Viewing Logs:

    • Date and time of change

    • Quantity increase or decrease
    • Reason for change (manual update, product return, etc.)

These logs are invaluable for auditing inventory, resolving discrepancies, and understanding stock movement patterns.

Importing Inventory via CSV

For large inventories, manual updates can be overwhelming. The plugin supports CSV import to automate bulk stock and price updates.

How to Import:

↑ Back to top
  • Go to WooCommerce → Products → Import Inventory.
  • Upload a CSV file formatted with product SKUs, stock quantities, prices, or other relevant fields.
  • Use the mapping interface to match CSV columns with WooCommerce product data fields.
  • Click Start Import to update your inventory.

This process ensures quick, error-free bulk updates and integrates easily with external inventory or ERP systems.

Keep offline backups or make detailed spreadsheet edits by exporting your current product data.

Steps to Export:
