# Out-of-stock Handling - Inventory Groups

### ✅ When to use this setting

Use out-of-stock handling if your group contains products that represent the same stock (examples):

* same product listed multiple times (different titles, languages, marketplaces)
* duplicate listings that must always have the same available quantity

If your grouped products should not go out of stock together, keep this setting off.

### ⚙️ Where to configure it

1. Open the app > click **Settings** 
2. Find **Inventory Groups > When products in the group are out of stock** > choose your preferred behavior

* **Option 1: Continue syncing:**\
  The app will keep syncing inventory data even if a product in the group is out of stock.\
  (Recommended if you want inventory levels to stay consistent across stores or variants.)
* **Option 2: Pause sync & notify by email:**\
  Syncing will pause automatically when a product in the group runs out of stock.\
  You’ll receive an email notification so you can restock or take action before resuming syncing.

### 🧪 Example

You group **T-shirt Red** and **T-shirt Blue** (shared stock).

* If **Continue syncing** is selected: when you restock, both products will update again automatically.
* If **Pause sync & notify by email** is selected: syncing stops at 0, and you’ll get an email so you can fix stock before it syncs further.
