Reserve Stock

<p>Reserve inventory for a limited time, for customers with items in their carts, with the Reserve Stock for WooCommerce extension.</p>

<p>This extension allows you to use your WooCommerce store as a multichannel order management system. Besides tracking orders placed directly on your store, the extension imports orders from other platforms and marketplaces, including Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Overstock, and Etsy. After fulfilling an order by providing tracking information, the extension transmits this data to the corresponding marketplace, marking the order as shipped. This facilitates managing all your orders from within your store’s WP Admin dashboard.</p>
<p>Currently, the extension provides order management for a restricted number of marketplaces. However, plans to include additional integrations and features, such as inventory and product management, are forthcoming.</p>
<ul>
<li>The extension automatically imports orders from marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Overstock, and Etsy into your WooCommerce store.</li>
<li>When an order is fulfilled in WooCommerce, the extension automatically submits the tracking information to the relevant marketplace.</li>
<li>Support is available via email, video call, and live chat.</li>
<li>In the foreseeable future, we will add more integrations and features, including inventory and product management.</li>
</ul>
