Stock Configuration

When running Shopware 6 there are various configuration options you can use to customize your installation. These configurations reside in the general bundle configuration.

Some features of Shopware are only activated when the corresponding feature flag is enabled. Feature flags can be enabled in your project's .env file:

// <project root>/.env
STOCK_HANDLING=1

Enable stock management system

As of Shopware 6.5.5, the stock management system has been rewritten. The product.stock field is now the primary source for real-time product stock values.

The new system is not enabled by default. To enable it, set the STOCK_HANDLING feature flag to 1.

// <project root>/.env
STOCK_HANDLING=1

In the next major version of Shopware, the new stock management system will become the default.

Disable stock management system

Please note this only applies if you have the STOCK_HANDLING feature flag enabled.

You can completely disable Shopware's default stock management system. When disabled, none of the event subscribers for order transitions will be executed. In practice, this means that none of the subscribers in Shopware\Core\Content\Product\Stock\OrderStockSubscriber will be executed.

To disable, set shopware.stock.enable_stock_management to false:

# <project root>/config/packages/shopware.yaml
shopware:
  stock:
    enable_stock_management: false
