Inventory
Nautical tracks product inventory at the product variant level. Variants must have inventory to be able to be displayed in the storefront. This requirement applies to all product types, including non-physical products such as digital goods.
A variant is in stock if it has unallocated quantity at a warehouse. Nautical tracks the inventory available at each warehouse location and automatically updates stock levels with order events unless the track inventory feature is turned off.
You can input your own SKU tracking number on products, however, Nautical will assign a system-generated Nautical Stock Number to each variant for inventory tracking, regardless of whether you add a SKU.
You must set up warehouses and assign shipping zones for products to be considered in stock and available for purchase. This requirement applies to all product types, including digital and other non-physical products, regardless of whether inventory tracking is turned on.
