What is a stock rule?
Stock rules are customizable formulas used to calculate the "available" stock SKULabs pushes to your sales channel. These are used to prevent overselling, disable stock sync for individual listings, control presales, and more.
How do I update stock rules?
Each store and each listing has a stock rule. The default stock rule for stores is free. The default stock rule for listings is store_default. Any listing which has not been overridden with an individual stock rule will rely on the store's stock rule.
