Managing Stock Buffer Amount

The Stock Buffer Amount feature helps prevent overselling by reserving a set quantity of inventory from being available for purchase.

When a product’s inventory reaches or falls below the defined buffer amount, the product will no longer be available for sale.

This setting applies across all products and is set to 0 by default.

How to Set a Stock Buffer Amount

1. Log in to your The Folklore account.
2. Navigate to:
   Account Settings → Business Information → Selling Information
3. Open the following page:

5. Enter the desired inventory buffer number.
6. Save your changes.
   
   

How the Stock Buffer Works

The stock buffer amount reserves a minimum quantity of inventory that cannot be purchased by customers.

For example:

• If your inventory quantity is 20
• And your stock buffer amount is set to 5

Customers will only be able to purchase up to 15 units.

Once inventory reaches 5 units remaining, the product will automatically become unavailable for purchase.

Important Notes

• This setting applies to all products.
• The default stock buffer amount is set to 0 for all users.
• Updating your stock buffer can help reduce overselling and inventory management issues across sales channels.
