Stock Central provides a centralized interface to manage stock, pricing, backorders, and locations for all WooCommerce product types—without opening individual product edit pages. All key actions are handled via a single, smart popup modal that adapts to the product type and context.
Where to Find Stock Central
WordPress Admin → Multi Location Product & Inventory → Stock Central
Main Features
Product Search – Search by product name or SKU
Edit / Quick Edit – Update stock and pricing instantly
Delete / Trash – Remove product stock data (with confirmation)
Location Management – Assign, manage, or add locations
Important: Quick Edit, Manage Location, and Add Location all open the same popup modal. The button only changes the entry point—the UI and functionality are shared.
