Product Tax and Inventory
Configure tax category, rate, and tax-included pricing per product, plus inventory tracking rules and stock behavior.
Tax and inventory are set per product, mostly at creation time. For the full creation flow, see Add a new product. For catalogue overview, see Products.
Tax Settings per Product
Tax is configured per product:
- Tax Category: Standard VAT (taxed) or Exempt (no tax)
- Tax Rate: The tax percentage for Standard VAT products
- Tax Included: Toggle this if your selling price already includes tax (the system extracts the tax amount correctly)
Note
See Pricing & Tax Calculations for how tax affects order totals.
Inventory Tracking
If Track Inventory is enabled for a product:
- Each variant's stock level is tracked per store
- Stock decreases when an order is completed
- Stock increases when inventory is adjusted or purchase orders are received
- Low stock alerts appear when stock falls below the reorder point (see Stock Management)
If inventory tracking is disabled, the product is treated as always in stock.
Important
Track Inventory can only be chosen when you create the product. Editing a product later shows the current setting as read-only. Create a new product if you need the other tracking mode.
