Inventory

Tracking your inventory in Zettle can help you make better business decisions and be confident that you always have enough stock at hand. Notifications will let you know when items are running low, so you can restock in time. You can manage inventory both in the app and on my.zettle.com.

Adding inventory

In the Zettle app
Edit a product by tapping “Edit” (iOS) or the pen icon (Android). Swipe right on the button next to “Inventory tracking”. Add the correct number of inventory (for each variant) and tap “Save”.

On my.zettle.com
Visit my.zettle.com and go to "Products". Click into the product and check the box next to "Inventory tracking". Add the correct number of inventory (for each variant) and click “Save”.

Inventory overview

In the Zettle app
In the Zettle app, tap the navigation icon in the top left corner then tap “Inventory”. From here you can quickly find products through search, sorting or filtering. To update stock quantities simply tap the products or variants you want to update, enter the new quantity then tap “Save”.

Please note: you need to activate Inventory tracking on your products in order for them to show up in the Inventory overview. You do this by editing or adding a new product from the product library on the web or in the app. 

On my.zettle.com
Visit my.zettle.com and go to "Inventory" which is located under "Products". From here you can see all your inventory, update stock, enable or disable tracking, export inventory spreadsheets and filter to see what items are low in stock. 

Get notifications when running low

In the Zettle app
Notifications will appear in the shopping cart if you sell an item that has only 3 left or fewer. These appear as red text notifications under the relevant item placed in the shopping cart.

Setting custom low-stock limits

By default, you’ll be notified when you only have 3 left of a product. You can set your own low-stock limits if you want to be notified sooner, or later.

In the Zettle app
Edit a product by tapping "Edit" (iOS) or the pen icon (Android). Add a low-stock limit (for each variant) then tap "Save".

On my.zettle.com
Visit my.zettle.com and go to "Products". Click into the product and add a low-stock limit (for each variant) then click "Save".

Low stock alert 

Get alerts when you’re running low on stock so you’ll always have sufficient stock on hand. The alerts appear in the shopping cart when you reach the low stock limit. 

Setting low stock alerts and low stock limits

Turn on the low stock alert on products that you want to be notified on. By default, you’ll be notified when you have three left in stock on a product. However, you can set your own low stock limit for each product.

In the Zettle app

    1. Edit a product by tapping "Edit" (iOS) or the pen icon (Android). 
    2. Tap the low stock alert toggle to turn it on.
    3. Add a low stock limit (for each variant) and tap "Save".

On my.zettle.com

  1. Go to my.zettle.com and click "Products". 
  2. Select a product and check the low stock alert checkbox. 
  3. Add a low stock limit (for each variant) and click "Save".

Good to know

Inventory will never prevent you from selling. If you have a product on your shelf, you can sell it using Zettle, even if you are “out of stock” in the Zettle app. At this point, the inventory count will show as negative (-1).
