Install an inventory plugin, usually WooCommerce. In WooCommerce settings, enable “Manage stock” and set low-stock and out-of-stock thresholds. For each product, open Product → Inventory, add an SKU, choose stock status, and enter the stock quantity. Enable backorders only if you can fulfill late orders. For variable products, manage stock per variation when quantities differ. Turn on stock emails so admins get alerts. Use bulk edit for many items, and import updates via CSV. Reconcile returns, refunds, and manual adjustments weekly. Consider barcode scanning for faster counts. If you sell on multiple channels, connect them to keep stock synced automatically.
