Overview

This page lets you manage stock levels and selling prices for each product, separately for every location. It also gives you quick filters, bulk actions, and simple profit info.

How to Access

WordPress Admin → Multi Location Product & Inventory → Stock Central

Columns and what they mean

You can control which columns appear from Screen Options.

Common columns on this page:

  • Select All (checkbox)
    Select products for bulk actions.
  • Image
    Product thumbnail.
  • Product
    Product name and ID. You also get quick links like Edit, View, Quick Edit, Trash, Duplicate.
  • Stock by Location
    Shows stock status for each location, like:
    • In stock
    • Out of stock
    • On backorder
      If quantity tracking is enabled, it can also show numbers like In stock (486).
  • Price by Location
    Shows the selling price per location. Example:
    • Default: 240.00€
    • New York: 240.00€
  • Purchase Info
    Usually shows the purchase or cost data used for profit calculation, such as:
    • Purchase Price (cost)
    • Quantity (if set)
      If not configured, it may show Not set.
  • Gross Profit
    Shows profit per location, usually calculated like:
    • Gross Profit = Selling Price − Purchase Price
      It may also show a percentage. In many setups, that percentage is based on the purchase price (markup). If you see a percentage that feels “too high,” that is usually why.
  • Actions
    Quick controls for the product, such as:
    • Location status like Activated
    • A button like Manage Stock to edit stock and price for that product

Other optional columns you may enable:

  • SKU
