How to Enable and Display “Available Quantity” on Website in Odoo 18 Enterprise
Introduction
In today's competitive eCommerce environment, customers expect transparency — especially when it comes to stock availability. Showing available product quantities directly on your website helps manage customer expectations, reduces order cancellations, and builds trust.
With Odoo 18 Enterprise, you can configure products to show their real-time available quantity on the website. This is particularly useful for physical products managed via warehouse operations.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to enable and display the available quantity on product pages in Odoo 18.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Ensure the Product is Storable
Go to Sales > Products > Products. Open the product you want to configure.
Under the General Information tab:
* Make sure the Product Type is set to Storable Product.
* Only storable products can track stock and display quantity.
Step 2: Configure Sales tab Display Settings
3. Switch to the Sales tab inside the product form.
4. Look for the following options:
* Show Available Qty on Website → ✅ Enable this option to display the quantity on the website.
* Stock Limit → Enter the minimum quantity at which the stock should start showing on the website (e.g., enter "1" to always show the quantity).
⚠️ If you don’t see this option, ensure that the product is already published on the website or that the Website module is installed and active.
Step 4: Publish the Product on the Website
Go to Website > Products.
Find and open your product.
Click “Unpublished” to change it to “Published”, if it isn’t already.
Once published, open the product page from the front-end.
Step 5: View the Available Quantity on the Website
On the product detail page, you will now see a line like:
“1 items available”.The quantity displayed is real-time, based on current stock in the warehouse linked to the website.
Multi-Warehouse Support
If you're running multiple websites linked to different warehouses, the quantity shown is warehouse-specific, based on the warehouse assigned to each website.
This is helpful for multi-location or multi-store eCommerce setups.
