Eren Labs – Stocktake for WooCommerce
Most WooCommerce inventory plugins help you manage stock numbers. Stocktake for WooCommerce helps you verify them against reality — the physical count process that stores actually run.
Workflow:
- Create a session. Pick a scope (all products or selected categories). A snapshot of current stock is taken so later sales don’t distort the variance.
- Count. Open the count screen on a phone or tablet and scan. A recognised barcode is counted on the spot — no quantity prompt, the cursor never leaves the scan box, so you scan one item after another without stopping. Scan the same product again and it adds on top (5 + 1 = 6, shown clearly). Need a different quantity? Fix it on the editable list of what you just scanned. Optional blind count hides the expected number so counters aren’t biased.
- Review variances. See expected vs counted, unit differences, and the value of the discrepancy.
- Apply. Post the counted quantities back to WooCommerce stock in one click.
- Export. Download the count sheet as CSV for your records.

Third-party libraries
This plugin bundles the ZXing barcode library (@zxing/library, MIT license, https://github.com/zxing-js/library) at assets/js/vendor/zxing.min.js, used as a fallback decoder for the phone-camera scanner when the browser has no native BarcodeDetector. It is served locally and never loaded from a remote CDN.
