# Inventory management

**View and update stock levels, configure supply Channels, and manage inventory per Store.**

Inventory in the Merchant Center is tracked per Product Variant and per Channel. Use this page to find where to view and update stock levels, set up supply Channels, and limit the inventory available to a Store.

## View inventory for a Product Variant

1. Go to **Products > Product list** and select the Product.
2. Click the **Variants** tab. The **Inventory: Quantity (Channel)** and **Inventory: Quantity Sum** columns show the stock for each Variant.
3. Select a Product Variant and click the **Inventory** tab. Each row shows an inventory entry for a Channel. An entry without a Channel is shown as **Unassigned channel**.

To add or update inventory, see [Add Inventory](/merchant-center/products.md#add-inventory).

## Set up an inventory supply Channel

1. Go to **Settings > Project settings** and click the **Channels** tab.
2. Click **Add Channel**.
3. For **Channel roles**, select **Inventory Supply**.
4. Complete the other fields as described in [Add a Channel](/merchant-center/project-settings.md#add-a-channel), and click **Save**.

## Limit the inventory available to a Store

1. Go to **Settings > Project settings** and click the **Stores** tab.
2. Select the Store.
3. For **Inventory supply channels**, select the supply Channels. If you don't select any Channel, the Store is not restricted to any Channel.
4. Click **Save store**.

For more information about the Store settings, see [Add a Store](/merchant-center/project-settings.md#add-a-store).
