WooRanker can help prevent overselling by strategically adjusting how products with limited inventory appear in your store:

• Configure the Stock slider to prioritize products with healthy inventory levels by selecting “over” in the threshold field and setting an appropriate value
• Products below your minimum desired stock level will receive lower scores, pushing them further down in listings
• Use the Stock slider in combination with the Sales slider to ensure popular items maintain visibility only when they have sufficient inventory
• Create a balance that automatically reduces exposure for items approaching your safety stock threshold
• Consider using tags to identify products with reliable inventory and increase their weight in your ranking formula
• Implement regular score recalculation schedules to ensure rankings reflect current inventory status
• Use the preview feature to test how your configuration affects products at various stock levels
• For fast-selling items, create a specific tag and adjust its weight based on current inventory capabilities
• Monitor your bestsellers regularly and adjust stock thresholds accordingly to prevent customer disappointment
• Consider creating separate scoring configurations for high-traffic periods when overselling risk increases

This approach helps manage customer expectations while maximizing sales of well-stocked items, reducing the frequency of backorders and out-of-stock notifications.
