In this video we create and search for catalog item variations, increase the amount of inventory in stock, and update inventory by removing damaged stock.
Use the Square Inventory API to adjust inventory quantities and review inventory changes for products in a Square catalog. A Square seller maintains inventory to keep track of the quantity of products for sale or services for hire. Inventory tracking is essentially the process of moving quantities of item variations between the different inventory states. For example, when the online order for a leather collar and heavy sweater is processed, the on-hand quantities for leather collar and heavy sweater are automatically updated by moving the number of purchased units for each item variation from IN_STOCK to SOLD.
