Limeroad Product Buffer Stock & Status

1. Navigate to the Products tab.

2. Hover over the Action section of the desired product and click the Edit icon to update the Variant Identifier, Buffer Stock, and enable or disable the product Status as follows:

   • Variant Identifier:
     • Enter the Variant Identifier as listed in the Limeroad seller portal.
     • This identifier is unique to each Seller Identifier. Ensure no two Variant Identifiers are the same.
   • Buffer Stock: Buffer Stock is configured at the product level and applies to the Seller Identifier/Variant Identifier regardless of location-level settings.
   • Status:
     • Active Products:
       • Appear on the Limeroad marketplace
       • Sync inventory
       • Are eligible to receive orders
     • Inactive Products:
       • Hidden from listings
       • Do not sync inventory
       • Are not eligible to receive orders

3. To send the correct catalog, inventory, and prices to the marketplace, apply the following buffer-stock rules:

   Location Buffer Stock	Product Buffer Stock	Sellable Qty	Variant Stock sent to Limeroad
   0	5	100	(100 − 5) = 95
   10	5	100	(100 − 5) = 95
   0	0	100	100
   10	0	100	(100 − 10) = 90
