Inventory Check for WooCommerce

A simple, mobile-friendly stocktaking app for WooCommerce.

Count your physical stock from your phone, compare it with WooCommerce, and safely update your inventory when the stocktake is complete.

Inventory Check for WooCommerce gives warehouse staff a dedicated stocktaking interface on your own WordPress site. There is no need to count stock from wp-admin or maintain a separate spreadsheet.

See Inventory Check in action

Watch how to perform a WooCommerce stocktake from your phone, review stock discrepancies, and safely update your WooCommerce inventory.

Simple WooCommerce stocktaking

Start a stock check and work through your physical inventory using a phone, tablet, or computer.

• Search products by name or SKU
• Count simple products and variations
• Enter the quantity physically in front of you
• Pause and resume a stock check
• See which products have already been counted

Find stock discrepancies

When counting is complete, Inventory Check compares your physical counts with the quantities recorded in WooCommerce.

You can quickly see:

• Expected WooCommerce stock
• Physical quantity counted
• Stock differences
• Products requiring a recheck

Safely update WooCommerce stock

Inventory Check does not change your WooCommerce inventory while your team is counting.

A supervisor reviews the completed stocktake before approving any changes.

Inventory Check also detects when WooCommerce stock has changed during the stocktake. Conflicting products are flagged for review instead of overwriting newer stock quantities.

Designed for phones

The stocktaking interface runs outside wp-admin at /inventory-check/ and is designed for use while walking around your stockroom or warehouse.

You can optionally add Inventory Check to your phone’s home screen for quick access.

Documentation

https://neilmatthews.com/inventory-check-for-woocommerce/

This plugin requires WooCommerce. Pretty permalinks are required for the app URL.

Privacy

Inventory Check processes:

• WordPress account data already on the site (login, display name, user ID)
• WooCommerce product names, SKUs, barcodes/GTINs, thumbnails, and stock quantities
• Stocktake names, physical counts, and audit rows of stock changes

It does not process customer personal data or payment card data. Counts stay on the merchant’s WordPress site. There is no neilmatthews.com inventory cloud.

The optional home-screen app uses a service worker that caches CSS, JavaScript, and icons only. It does not cache authenticated REST responses.

Pro builds may keep unsynced counts in the browser (IndexedDB), keyed by WordPress user ID, and wipe them on log out.

Freemius

Optional licensing and update delivery for the Pro package is provided by Freemius. The free WordPress.org build works without a Freemius licence. Freemius may phone home for licence validation and updates when you use Pro.
