Items out of stock Online but showing as available in Item Editor

The title of this thread has been edited by a Square Moderator from the original: "Why is inventory saying out of stock?"

 

I have items that are showing up out of inventory on the website but when I go to edit them it shows I have them available.

Hello @YourHandsOrMine !

 

there may be a couple of reasons for availability issues:

 

- I’ve seen times where Squares sites take a few minutes to update things, especially if you’ve been doing a lot of updates

-usually it has to to with a fulfillment mismatch. Make sure your item and your site are expecting the same fulfillment settings. I’ve seen this error if you have an item set for shipping but you don’t have shipping as a fulfillment method set up for your site. 

-item types can sometimes cause this problem too. If you’re running a retail page, make sure none of your items are set for Food and Beverage

 

If it’s none of these, please reply with your website address so we can troubleshoot further.

I'm still having this issue. I made a few changes and waited several days and it's still showing out of stock online. I also have the link show up as a 404 error / page not found when I click on the item occasionally. https://visser-farms.square.site/product/farm-tour/207?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_i...
