If inventory isn’t returning to your store after a customer cancels an order or reduces quantities, check the causes below.

Quick diagnostics

  1. Find the cancelled or edited order in Shopify admin
  2. Note the items and quantities removed
  3. Check the relevant product’s inventory at the original fulfillment location
  4. If stock hasn’t returned, continue below

1. Restocking is turned off

Most common issue. Restocking is a setting that must be enabled. Check: In Editr → Settings → Restocking, confirm the Restock inventory toggle is on. Fix: Turn on the toggle and save. Note that this only affects edits made after the change. Past cancellations or reductions aren’t retroactively restocked.

2. Product doesn’t track inventory

If a product’s variant has inventory tracking disabled, Editr can’t restock it, even with restocking on. Check: In Shopify admin, open the product and check whether Track quantity is enabled for the variant. Fix: If you want inventory tracking, enable it. Otherwise, this is expected behavior for untracked products.

3. Wrong location checked

Inventory returns to the original fulfillment location for each item, not a default or primary location. Check: In Shopify admin, look at the order’s fulfillment location. Check inventory at that specific location, not your overall stock count. Fix: No fix needed. This is expected for multi-location stores.
