πŸ“¦ Pseudo Quantity (Virtual Stock)

Pseudo stock, or virtual stock, allows you to manage inventory for back orders by showing available quantities even when physical stock is low or depleted. Selro offers two types of pseudo stock:


πŸ” 1. Static Pseudo Stock

πŸ“Œ Behaviour: Fixed value, independent of real stock.

  • πŸ“‰ Always resets to your chosen value, regardless of real stock changes.

  • βœ… Ideal when you want listings to always show the same stock level.


⏳ 2. Decrementing Pseudo Stock

πŸ“Œ Behaviour: Reduces only after real stock reaches zero.

  • πŸ”’ Starts from a set value and decreases with each order.

  • πŸ›’ Once it hits zero, the item becomes unavailable.

  • 🚚 Great for controlled back orders after stock runs out.

⚠️ Decrementing begins only when actual stock is zero.
