Inventory tracking controls whether Thrive monitors and updates the quantity of a product. When tracking is enabled, Thrive automatically deducts quantities when products sell and syncs stock levels to your integrations.

Most physical products should have tracking enabled. Tracking should only be disabled for services and non-inventory items that don't have physical stock quantities.

When inventory tracking is enabled, Thrive records the current quantity of the item. When the product sells, or inventory is received, the quantity will be adjusted and Thrive will sync those quantities to your connected and enabled integrations. The product will appear on inventory reports with quantity data.

For example, if I sell hats, having tracking turned on will tell me how many hats are currently on the shelf at any given time. When one is sold, we'll deduct one from our quantity and ensure it's syncing out to your integrations.

If a product's tracking is disabled, we won't be tracking those units, and they will not appear on your inventory report. The product can still be available at your point of sale, but quantity is not tracked in Thrive.

Usually, only in the cases of Services & Non-Inventory Products. For example, if I give haircuts, I don't want to track the quantity of "haircuts" I have.

Go to the Advanced tab in the 'Settings' section of Thrive and start the task labeled "Enable inventory tracking for all variants":

Turn off inventory tracking for those products on the Product Details page.

Click on any product from the Products or Variants View of the catalog on which you would like to turn off inventory tracking. Scroll down to the Inventory section, and toggle the 'Track Inventory' button to off.

Tracking disabled is different from inactive products:

Track Inventory = OFF:
