My items are showing as Sold Out when there is inventory available

I am importing using Modalyst and Oberlo. The Modalyst items are imported and immediately show up as "sold out". I read a previous post about clearing cache etc but this is showing on different devices and browsers. Even in my Shopify store the inventory shows 14 items available but the customer sees Sold Out. Could it be something with the Debut theme?

 

Thanks for any advice.

This is an accepted solution.

I chatted with Tech Support. Apparently I had to go into Settings->Location->mylocation->uncheck the box "Ship from this location". 2019-06-19_18-49-43.jpg See Screen Shot. That solved my problem.

Here are two screen shots. When I change the option for Shopify to NOT track inventory then the customer can purchase. So this seems to be a theme related problem with the Debut theme?2019-06-19_11-04-32.jpg2019-06-19_11-05-18.jpg

I have also noticed a difference in the product listing between Oberlo and Modalyst and how the inventory is listed:

I have exactly the same problem and I'm using Oberlo. From what I've read in forums It seems to be a problem with Oberlo app because this Sold Out issue is happening with many themes, even when there's stock available. Can any shopify admin help us, please? I need to fix this issue asap.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey Joroman2k, thanks for the update, It's good to know that it worked for you. I've already unchecked the box on Settings->Location->mylocation->uncheck the box "Ship from this location", but unfortunately it didn't worked for me. Hopefully someone will help me out with this issue.

I am trying to follow your steps to get my inventory to show up in Printful. However, I am unable to choose the Printful app as my default location, and unchecking the box as you have recommended is not an option. It's grayed out. Thank you for any insight.

It worked for me. I am not sure if it was something I did originally that caused the change, but once I uninstall and reinstalled, I noticed that the Vendor changed from my store name to the vendor from Modalyst and the items showed the amount available and it also showed up on my website.  I hope this works for you as well.

The only suggestion the modalyst support was able to give is to uninstall and reinstall the app...which makes no difference. Re-importing products also doesn't help. Unchecking the 'track inventory' box in the shopify settings is one workaround but in that case you'll have to monitor the inventory on the modalyst website. If you don't pay attention your products will stay available in your store when they are really out of stock. I wish all of their suppliers could just sigh up with Spocket...

I was having the exact same issue yesterday. I do not use the embedded Shopify menu for customer navigation. I use Mega Menu. I was curious as to whether there was a correlation between my websites menu and the product collections on my admin page. Maybe the two were not communicating properly? I went in and cleaned up my collections and my nested/tree menu to be able to communicate product information. Also, make sure that your product is assigned to a collection. If you have your products assigned to a collection but your menu assigned to the home page, the two will not communicate properly.  After doing this, it sure enough resolved the "sold out" issue on my website.

Hi 


Were you able to eventually troubleshoot this issue on Modalyst? If not, please let me know. I'd be happy to walk through the solution with you.

Alternatively, you can check out our Help Center article on How to Fix the Sold Out issue on Shopify.

Either way, let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. You can email me at team@modalyst.co or chat directly with our team via live chat.

Hello.  I have gone through the steps indicated in the article provided and the problem does not resolve itself.  I have alternatively imported items through CSV and the quantities for the same items continue to reflect 0 and do not show up as available for sell on my site. What insight can you provide to assist in resolving this concern?  I was under the impression that syncing the items to my store would also sync the inventory availability as well.

Guys, I just solved this issue and it is very easy : 

1) Go to Products > Inventory 

2) In the upper right corner you gonna see your location (the registered address of your shop), another option will be Oberlo, another will be Printful for example. Here I chose my shop location because I added the product manually and I think this is the reason why it comes as a sold out because of the settings of Oberlo. So yeah - choose your location (it should be already selected by default)

3) Find the product and click on it (it should give you the list with all the different variants that you have - click on any of it 

4)On the next page you will see the following Sections : Options, Pricing, Inventory and Shipping.

In the Inventory section you will see Track Quantity with a check mark next to it 

5) Uncheck that check mark and voila - Sold Out is gone 

 

This is how it worked for me, I hope it works for you too.

 

Good Luck,

 

Joro, If you need any more help let me know - I think we are from the same country 😄 

 

Cheers

It was a while ago but I believe the solution was to select each item and change the “when sold out” option and/or manually inputting the “available “. Both on the inventory screen.

Removing "Track Inventory Quantity" may remove the SOLD OUT notification but it creates an issue in that you need to manually ensure your stock is updated and not sell stock you have actually sold out of. Has anyone found a real solution to this issue?

Same here. This worked for me, hopefully for you too!

Follow the instructions provided by this link tom Shopify support on the issue:

http://support.modalyst.co/en/articles/3351232-how-to-fix-sold-out-issue-on-shopify

 

Note: ONCE YOU CHECK THE BOX for Shipping YOU MUST SAVE BEFORE Clicking 'View Inventory'.

 

THEN:

 

1) Pay attention to whether ANY VARIANT OF ANY ITEM HAS ZERO (0) INVENTORY. Apparently if ANY VARIANT HAS ZERO, ALL SHOW AS SOLD OUT.

2) Change the Available Quantity from ZERO to ONE in any item/variant with a zero. NOTE: Make sure you have inventory for some variant of the product or you'll have some upset customers.

3) Check your website to see if it worked! Hopefully So!

Aliexpress items were showing as sold out after importing.

This is the fix:

On the product editing page, click the 3 dots/ manage sales channels/check the box for "Online Store"

I had to create shipping rates and add products to said rates to circumnavigate this. Not sure if that will do it for you but it did for me

Goto inventory page. Click select all button. Choose the bulk edit option when it pops up. Click columns in right top hand corner on the bulk edit page. Check the box that says (continue selling when out of stock) and it will appear as a column. Click on the first column box with the check mark that has appeared (NOT THE CHECK BOX BUT THE COLUMN BOX, then scroll down to the bottom of the inventory list and whiled holding the shift key choose the last product on list (this will enable you to un-click all products on the page at once. THEN CLICK THE CHECK BOX, which will uncheck all products. This should fix you guys problem!
