Shopify merchants are frustrated by an inventory management update that replaced the “Available” column with “On Hand” in bulk editing views. The “On Hand” quantity represents total physical inventory (Committed + Available + Unavailable), making it difficult for merchants to see at-a-glance what’s actually available for sale.

Merchant Reactions:
Many are considering switching platforms (WooCommerce, BigCommerce mentioned). Merchants report lost sales, angry customers, staff stress, and hours of additional work managing inventory. The update appears inadequately tested and poorly suited for diverse business models.
@Shay @Blair Please tell me they are at least working on some improvements?? Currently I have to go through 4 steps to see how many of each product I have available to sell.
Search for product
Select product
Tap variant
Tap more next to inventory to then see how many are available
This is not a good way to work I really do not understand.
