Inventory problems often begin when promotion, payment and fulfilment use different records. Selstack orders provide the demand signal; a simple stock routine ensures the business does not keep selling an unavailable product.
Create one stock list
Record each sellable variation with a consistent name or SKU, current quantity and reorder point. Match those names to the public Selstack offer.
Reserve stock at the right status
Define when an item becomes reserved and when a failed or refunded order returns to available stock. Use the confirmed Selstack payment status rather than chat messages.
Run short cycle counts
Count fast-moving items regularly and investigate differences while the transactions are still recent. Document damaged, returned and promotional units.
Pause offers before stock reaches zero
Update, unpublish or clearly mark an unavailable link. Protecting customer trust is more valuable than accepting an order you cannot fulfil.

Align product names, variations, reservation status, reorder point and public availability.
Avoid this: Do not rely on memory or leave an old payment link active after inventory is exhausted.
