Hello and welcome to the Seller Community @Hbjb2006! 🎉

I've moved your post here so you can read George's Best Answer about how to get started with inventory. When you use inventory with Square the items sold do come off your inventory count.

😀Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to help! 

Hello, I read this whole thread that started over a year ago. I just spent hours updating inventory on the dashboard from my desktop. But when I made a test sale on my app on mobile, not only can I NOT update inventory levels, but it doesn't alert me when I am out of something. So techinically I can sell something that I dont even have because the app doesn't "see" the inventory and alert levels that I entered on the desktop version. So someone tell me what the purpose of having inventory management on the desktop is? Unless you are manually checking the desktop version to check your stock levels, it's actually worthless 😞 I really hope there is an a solution out there that I am unaware of... 

Hey @gbq730!

We actually do have a Low Stock Alerts: 

1. Head to your Item Library in your Square Dashboard.
2. Click on the item you want to track > Low Stock Alert (default is None)
3. Toggle on Alerts and enter the amount you want to alert you that your stock is low.

You'll receive the notification via email. I definitely see how it would be helpful for it to alert you on the app, but in the meantime you can set up your email alerts on the tablet to ping you when a message from Square comes in.

I hope that helps get you in the right direction!

Hello @idabeauty! I've moved your post to this thread so you can see information about setting up basic inventory management on our Support Center, including George's Best Answer and the steps to set up low stock alerts shared by @puka.

If you've already set up your Inventory or alerts from the Dasboard but sales made through the app aren't changing the stock amounts, I recommend making sure you're signing in to the app and Dashboard using the same email address and password. You can also call our CS team who can take a closer look and make sure your Inventory is set up correctly!

Yes! With inventory management enabled stock levels will automatically be adjusted when you make a sale from the app or from your Online Store.

Also, you need set separate stock levels on each: so if you sell an item in person with the app, it won't 'take away' from the online store stock levels you entered. Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions!
