# Allow bookings when service is out of stock
### 🎯 **Why Enable “Continue Selling When Out of Stock”?**
If your service product reaches 0 inventory, Shopify may mark it as **Sold** **out**. When that happens, customers might not be able to continue booking on the product page.
Enabling **Continue selling when out of stock** lets customers keep booking services even when inventory is 0, which is usually what you want for appointment-based services.
***
### 🧩 Case 1: Your service product has variants
1\. From Shopify admin page, click **Products** > open the product you use to create service
2\. Select all variants > click “**More actions**“
3\. Select **Continue selling when out of stock**
4\. Click **Save**
***
### 🧩 Case 2: Your service product has no variants
1\. From Shopify admin page, click **Products** > open the product you use to create service
2\. Check on the checkbox **Continue selling when out of stock**
3\. Click **Save**
***
#### âś… Result
After enabling this Shopify setting, customers can **continue booking your service** even if the product inventory is **0**.
