Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I change stock for a specific size or color?

Tell your AI which product and variation you want to change, such as a 'Blue Large' shirt. The agent finds the matching variation ID and updates the stock count for you. You'll see the exact results of the update in your chat.

The results you get

Where your updates land

Your AI handles the database work so you don't have to hunt through the WooCommerce dashboard.

TARGETED

Specific variation updates

The AI uses variation IDs to ensure only the chosen size or color is changed. This keeps your main product stock untouched.

ACCURATE

Attribute matching

By identifying attributes like color or size, the agent finds the right SKU. You get confidence that the right item is being updated.

LIVE

Instant store sync

Changes hit your WooCommerce database immediately. Your customers see the updated availability on your storefront right away.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

The AI won't run bulk updates without your direct command. You stay in control of every inventory change.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your plain English into precise inventory commands.

  1. Find the variation

    The agent scans your product list to find the specific ID that matches the size or color you mentioned.

    update_woocommerce_inventory

  2. Calculate stock

    The AI determines the new quantity based on whether you want to set a total or add to existing stock.

    update_woocommerce_inventory

  3. Apply the change

    The agent sends the update to WooCommerce to overwrite the current stock level for that variation.

    update_woocommerce_inventory

  4. Confirm the update

    The AI checks that the database accepted the change and reports the new stock number back to you.
