WooCommerce inventory monitoring
Status: supported. GNIZDO connects to a WooCommerce store as an independent channel, hardens a confirmed catalog snapshot, and makes freshness, completeness, and stock/price changes visible for review. WooCommerce is the one platform where GNIZDO also supports explicit, capability-gated per-item stock or price writes — a manual action, never automatic cross-channel sync.
What GNIZDO reads
GNIZDO reads the connected store's catalog read-only:
- Stock quantity or stock status for every product and variation
- Price per product and variation
- Listing/product state and key identifiers (including SKU)
- Channel trust, connection, freshness, and sync-execution signals
How the connection works
You connect a WooCommerce store using scoped store URL plus consumer key and secret credentials. GNIZDO validates the credentials, resolves the store identity, then reads the catalog into a confirmed local generation. Reconnect protection prevents a different store from silently taking over an existing channel.
What GNIZDO shows
- Latest known stock, price, and listing state for each product and variation
- Import progress and catalog completeness, so partial or failed reads are visible
- Freshness — how long since the channel was last successfully observed
- Change evidence — stock drops, price changes, listings appearing or disappearing between observations
- Oversell-risk signals combining low stock with stale freshness
Write capability
When a WooCommerce channel reports write capability, an operator can send an explicit per-item stock or price update. These are deliberate, capability-gated manual actions — GNIZDO never automatically corrects inventory, never syncs between channels, and never writes back to another platform.
How confirmed mapping works for WooCommerce
GNIZDO can surface likely same-product candidates against other channels using exact SKU or title evidence, but a match is only a candidate. You confirm which listings represent the same product; only then does GNIZDO treat them as one item and keep their cross-channel evidence together so differences are visible. WooCommerce has no built-in assumption that equal SKUs mean shared identity.
Limitations
- GNIZDO mirrors what the store reports; it has no separate warehouse, POS, or WMS source of physical stock truth.
- Writes are per-item and capability-gated when enabled — not bulk, not automatic.
- Cross-channel comparison applies only to confirmed shared identity.
