Why does my imported product show Sold out?

You picked Set stock manually after import. Tracked variants start with no stock, so Shopify shows them as sold out. Add stock in Shopify, or stop tracking inventory on the product.

Fix it

1. In Shopify admin, open Products and find the product.
2. Add a quantity to each variant. Or turn off inventory tracking for it.
3. Click Save.

You can do this before or after you click Publish product. The window reminds you: "Add stock first. Without it, the product shows as sold out."

Avoid it next time

Under Inventory, leave Don’t track inventory. It's the default, and it suits dropshipping. The product stays available. Supplier stock isn't synced either way.

If you retry a failed import, it keeps the inventory choice you made. Change it on the product in Shopify.
