shopify continue selling when out of stock oversell
The actual problem
‘Continue selling when out of stock’ is on for SKUs that can’t backorder — ads sell air.
Do this
- Audit inventory policy on top ad SKUs; turn off continue-selling where backorders aren’t real.
- Sync POS/warehouse qty before morning ad spend.
- Add OOS → sold-out UX that doesn’t keep ATC live.
- Reconcile oversell tickets vs policy flags weekly.
