# Updating price and stock
> Maintain an accurate storefront by keeping your product pricing and inventory levels up to date.
Keep your product pricing and inventory levels accurate to prevent overselling and ensure correct checkout totals.
Only admins with **Merchant Admin** roles can edit product pricing and adjust stock levels.

## Watch: Update Price and Stock
***
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
* Admin access to your Bila dashboard
* The updated price in ZMW and/or the correct stock adjustment quantity ready
***
## Update a Product Price
Adjust your price to reflect current market conditions, cost changes, or promotional periods.
1. In the left sidebar, click **Product Store**.
2. Locate the product you want to update.
3. Click the options menu **`...`** on the product row and select **Edit Product**.
4. Scroll to the **Pricing & Inventory** section.
5. Enter the new amount in the **Price (ZMW)** field.
6. Click **Save Changes** at the top of the screen.
**Confirmation:** A green toast notification will appear — *"Product updated successfully."*
Price changes take effect immediately after saving. Any customer who opens your storefront after the save will see the updated price — confirm the new amount is correct before clicking Save Changes.

## Adjust Stock Levels
Use the quick-adjust tool to update your inventory count without opening the full product edit form.
1. In the **Products** list, click the options menu **`...`** on the product row.
2. Select **Adjust Stock**.
3. In the pop-up window, use the **`+`** or **`–`** buttons to set the adjustment amount — e.g. `+10` for a restock, `–3` for a manual correction.
4. Add a note in the **Reason for adjustment** field — e.g. `Restock from supplier` or `Damaged units removed`.
5. Click **Confirm Adjustment**.
**Confirmation:** The **Stock** column updates immediately — no page refresh needed.
The reason note is optional but strongly recommended. Every stock adjustment is logged in your Stock Activity and Audit Trail under **Settings → Audit Trail**, including the timestamp, the acting admin, and the reason note if one was provided. This creates a clean inventory record for reconciliation and accountability.

## Stock Adjustment Reference
| Scenario | Adjustment Type | Example Reason Note |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| New stock received from supplier | Positive — e.g. `+50` | `Restock from supplier — Invoice #1042` |
| Damaged or unsellable units removed | Negative — e.g. `–5` | `Damaged units removed from shelf` |
| Manual count correction after audit | Positive or negative | `Stock count corrected after physical audit` |
| Promotional giveaway or sample | Negative — e.g. `–2` | `Units used for customer sampling event` |

## Troubleshooting
| Issue | What to Do |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Price did not update on storefront | Confirm you clicked **Save Changes** and received the green toast — refresh the storefront preview to verify |
| Stock count is incorrect after adjustment | Open **Product Store → Stock Activity** and filter by the product to review the full adjustment history |
| Adjustment was made in error | Make a correcting adjustment in the opposite direction and add a note — e.g. `Correction for erroneous +10 on 30 Apr 2026` |
