Manage product availability

Product inventories are shown in Storefront:

• Under each product card in the catalog. You can apply Show in stock filter to see only products in stock.
• In the cart after adding the products.
• When processing orders.

The product's availability displayed in the Storefront is determined by the information configured in:

• The Catalog module, where availability settings are established using switches.
• The Inventory module, storing the actual quantity of the product in stock.
