Hi I am setting up my shop and I'm a bit lost how to set up inventory with multiple variations. I have 40 bottles total but the scents and shimmer options don't need to have amounts as I have both on hand. Is there a way to just add stock to the bottles alone?? I don't want someone ordering 40 of one scent then someone else being able to order 40 of another. Thank you

To manage stock only for the bottles in Shopify (without tracking scent or shimmer separately), follow these steps:

  1. Create a product for your bottles.
  2. Add all scent and shimmer options as variants (like "Scent A - Shimmer" and "Scent A - No Shimmer").
  3. Set the same total stock for all variants (e.g., 40 bottles).

Since Shopify tracks each variant separately, all scents and shimmer options will share the same stock. If one sells, Shopify reduces the total stock for all variants accordingly.

This way, no one can order more bottles than what you have in total!

Hi @Sculptedbyruth,

You can manage your product inventory by tracking only the number of bottles. For the Scent and Shimmer options, you might want to use the Easify Product Options app to create these options for your main product - without adding them as Shopify variants. This way, the Scent and Shimmer options won’t affect your main product’s inventory, making it easier for you to manage the inventory based solely on the number of bottles 🤗.

Let me know  more about your product, and I can suggest the best way to set up your options with the app. Or just reach out to the Easify team for a quick setup guide.
