Show stock levels on Terminal and App

[KAJD]

Hi all, I'm just getting my head around managing my inventory on Square.

I'm wondering if it's possible for the current stock level of an item/variation to be displayed on the Terminal handset or app.

At the moment, I can only see if a product is in/out of stock, but I need to be able to see how many are left in stock.

That's because I have an instance of each of my products in a display case and I only sell the displayed version when it's the last one I have. If I have more than one in stock then I keep the others behind the counter.

So at the moment, each time a customer wants to buy a product then I have to manually check behind the counter. If Terminal could tell me how many I have in stock then I wouldn't have to do that.

And there have been times when I have missed that I have items behind the counter and sold the display item meaning I have stock that isn't on display and that only comes to light when I do a stocktake.

So I wonder if I am missing something, or is this a feature request?

Hi @KAJD 👋 

Thanks for your post and sorry for the delayed response. 

It may be that you are looking for something different but on my Square Terminal, when I head to More > Items > Select Item > Price and Inventory - I can see the inventory/stock levels for my items. 

I wonder if you were just looking while adding the item to the basket? In those cases, you won't see the stock level, but I do agree that it would be handy if you could see it on that screen - so that you don't have to navigate to different screens/pages. 

I hope this helps!
