Stocktake for WooCommerce is stocktake software that lives inside the store you already run. It takes a physical inventory count, a routine cycle count or a full inventory audit, measures it against the stock numbers WooCommerce already holds, shows you exactly where the two disagree — in units and in money — and writes the correction back in one click.
It is not a stock management system and does not try to replace one. WooCommerce already has a stock field and everyone uses it. The gap is what happens when the shelf and that field stop agreeing, which they always do. This plugin closes that gap and leaves a record of how it was closed.
Count without closing the shop
The core is snapshot-based variance. The moment a session starts, Stocktake records the expected quantity of every product in scope. From then on the count is measured against that snapshot rather than against a moving number — so a stock count can run during trading hours while orders keep arriving, and the sales that happen mid-count do not corrupt the result.
Scope a session to the whole catalogue or to selected categories. Stop halfway through the afternoon and pick it up the next morning; an unfinished count stays exactly where you left it.
Scan with a barcode gun, or with the phone in your pocket
Barcode inventory counting works with any plain USB or Bluetooth scanner — the kind that simply types. Scan and the item is counted on the spot; the cursor never leaves the scan box, so you move from one item to the next without touching the keyboard. Scan the same product twice and it adds on top (5 + 1 = 6, shown as it happens). Anything that needs correcting is corrected on the editable list of what you just scanned.
No scanner? The count screen opens in a phone or tablet browser with phone-camera barcode scanning (Beta). There is no stocktake app to install on each counter’s device — you send them a link. Products can also be found by SKU or by name when a barcode will not read.
A full physical count, cycle counts and spot checks
Count the way the job actually needs:
- Full or zero-based count — the year-end, count-everything exercise your accountant asks for.
- Cycle count — a rolling count of part of the catalogue, so high-value lines get checked often and the rest get checked eventually. Nobody counts everything every month; this is how counting programmes survive contact with a real week.
