In the Google Shopping field mapping tab, the "availability" field corresponds to the stock status of your products. By default, we set "in_stock" for a positive quantity and "out_of_stock" for a quantity less than or equal to 0. Therefore, you don't need to modify anything by default.
However, if you wish, other values can be used for pre-orders or out-of-stock products available on order.
The "availability" attribute can only be associated with four supported values:
- In stock
[in_stock]- You’re accepting orders for this product and can fulfill the purchase request. You’re certain that the product will ship or be in transit to the customer on time because it's available for sale. You can deliver the product to all of the locations that you support in your product data and shipping.
- Out of stock
[out_of_stock]- You’re not accepting orders for this product, or the product isn't available for purchase.
