Most WooCommerce inventory plugins help you manage<\/em> stock numbers. Stocktake for\nWooCommerce helps you verify<\/em> them against reality \u2014 the physical count process\nthat stores actually run.<\/p>\n\n

Workflow:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. Create a session.<\/strong> Pick a scope (all products or selected categories). A\nsnapshot of current stock is taken so later sales don't distort the variance.<\/li>\n
  2. Count.<\/strong> Open the count screen on a phone or tablet and scan. A recognised\nbarcode is counted on the spot \u2014 no quantity prompt, the cursor never leaves\nthe scan box, so you scan one item after another without stopping. Scan the\nsame product again and it adds on top (5 + 1 = 6, shown clearly). Need a\ndifferent quantity? Fix it on the editable list of what you just scanned.\nOptional blind count<\/strong> hides the expected number so counters aren't biased.<\/li>\n
  3. Review variances.<\/strong> See expected vs counted, unit differences, and the value\nof the discrepancy.<\/li>\n
  4. Apply.<\/strong> Post the counted quantities back to WooCommerce stock in one click.<\/li>\n
  5. Export.<\/strong> Download the count sheet as CSV for your records.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Third-party libraries<\/h3>\n\n

        This plugin bundles the ZXing barcode library (@zxing\/library, MIT license,\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/zxing-js\/library) at assets\/js\/vendor\/zxing.min.js, used as a\nfallback decoder for the phone-camera scanner when the browser has no native\nBarcodeDetector. It is served locally and never loaded from a remote CDN.<\/p>\n\n

        External services<\/h3>\n\n

        This plugin uses the Freemius SDK (https:\/\/freemius.com) for optional usage\ntracking and for licensing\/updates of the separate Pro version. On first\nactivation you are shown an explicit opt-in screen; NOTHING is sent anywhere\nunless you click \"Allow & Continue\" \u2014 choosing \"Skip\" keeps the plugin fully\nfunctional with no data leaving your site. If you opt in, Freemius receives\nbasic site data (site URL, WordPress\/PHP versions, plugin version, admin email)\nto provide update notifications and support.\nFreemius terms: https:\/\/freemius.com\/terms\/\nFreemius privacy policy: https:\/\/freemius.com\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Upload the stocktake-for-woocommerce<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
        3. Go to Stocktake<\/strong> in the admin menu and create your first session.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          WooCommerce must be installed and active.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n

          Does it change my stock automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. Counting only records numbers. Stock is changed only when you press\nApply adjustments<\/strong>.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Will counting block sales?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. Each session snapshots stock at creation time, so the store can keep selling\nwhile you count. The variance is measured against the snapshot.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it work with variations?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes \u2014 each stock-managed variation is counted as its own line. Scanning a\nvariation's barcode (SKU or the WooCommerce GTIN\/UPC\/EAN\/ISBN field) counts\nthat exact variation, and applying updates that variation's stock.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Which barcodes are recognised?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          A scanned code is matched against the SKU first, then against WooCommerce's\nown GTIN \/ UPC \/ EAN \/ ISBN product field (WooCommerce 9.2+). Both work for\nproducts and variations.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n

          1.1.21<\/h4>\n\n

          A ground-up rework of the counting screen for real, non-stop scanning.<\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • One-scan counting: a recognised barcode \u2014 or a name-search pick, or a camera\nread \u2014 is counted the instant it resolves. No quantity prompt, no dialog, the\ncursor never leaves the scan box, so you scan one item after another at the\npace of the scanner. First scan counts 1.<\/li>\n
          • Scan the same product again and it adds on top, in every mode, with a clear\n\"5 + 1 = 6\" note so an accidental double-scan can never pass unnoticed.<\/li>\n
          • Corrections moved to a big, editable panel for the item you just counted plus\nan editable list of recent scans: adjust a quantity with the +\/\u2212 stepper\n(saved automatically) or remove a line entirely. No need to touch the screen\nat all if the default of 1 is right.<\/li>\n
          • A product that isn't in this count's list is simply added and counted when you\nscan it (you're holding it, after all) \u2014 with a quiet note, never a pop-up.\nA code that matches no product shows an inline message with the scanned code.<\/li>\n
          • Hardware scanners are recognised even when the cursor sits in a quantity\nfield, and a barcode-sized quantity is refused \u2014 a stray scan is treated as\nthe next item, not saved as a count.<\/li>\n
          • New REST endpoint and audit-log event for removing a count (Pro's session\nhistory shows these as \"Count removed\").<\/li>\n
          • Reliability: live-count reads are never served from a cache, and rapid or\noverlapping scans are processed in order so no count is lost or double-counted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            1.1.20<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Fix: the bundled ZXing barcode library is back in the package \u2014 a packaging\nstep had been leaving assets\/js\/vendor\/ out of the zip, which broke the\nphone-camera scanner's fallback decoder on iOS.<\/li>\n
            • Directory housekeeping for WordPress.org: escapes all admin output through\nwp_kses(), prepares every database query with placeholders, uses a more\ndistinct internal PHP namespace, and drops directory image files and build\nmetadata from the plugin package.<\/li>\n
            • Every Pro-only engine \u2014 the approval workflow, presets, scheduled\nreminders, stock-check access layer and the Pro report helpers \u2014 now ships\nexclusively in the separately distributed Pro build.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              1.1.19<\/h4>\n\n
                \n
              • Fix: Excel exports now declare a default cell style, so strict readers\n(e.g. openpyxl) no longer warn about a missing default style. The files\nalways opened correctly in Excel; this makes them fully standard.<\/li>\n
              • Fix: a cancelled stocktake now shows \"View\" instead of \"Count\" in the list.<\/li>\n
              • Fix: the phone-camera scanner shows a clear message when the camera can't\nstart (unsupported browser or insecure context) instead of doing nothing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                1.1.18<\/h4>\n\n
                  \n
                • WordPress.org review compliance: the free plugin now contains no Pro code\nat all \u2014 Pro-only counting modes and cost valuation live exclusively in\nthe separately distributed Pro build (nothing is locked or gated).<\/li>\n
                • All admin JavaScript is enqueued via wp_enqueue_script (no inline tags).<\/li>\n
                • Documents the optional Freemius opt-in under \"External services\".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  1.1.17<\/h4>\n\n
                    \n
                  • Variable products: parent-level (pooled) stock is now counted correctly as one\nline; scanning any of its variations lands on that line, and per-variation\nSKUs can no longer count against the wrong sibling.<\/li>\n
                  • Fix: a recount saved after \"Apply\" is now always pushed on the next Apply,\nwhile items whose count matched the records are never touched \u2014 sales made\nduring the stocktake are preserved exactly.<\/li>\n
                  • Reports: Pulse\/Insights pages now stay fast and light on huge catalogues,\nexclude trashed products, respect the shop timezone, and exports stream\nany catalogue size without memory limits or skipped rows.<\/li>\n
                  • History gains paging past 300 entries; goods-in sessions export the received\nquantity; presets are addressed by stable ids (stale tabs can no longer\ndelete the wrong preset); many smaller fixes from the second code audit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    1.1.16<\/h4>\n\n
                      \n
                    • Security & reliability: reject counting\/adjusting draft or trashed products;\nvalidate quantities; guard against concurrent Apply double-counting stock;\nthe auto-backup now aborts Apply if it can't be fully written.<\/li>\n
                    • Fix: Undo now rolls back each Apply wave correctly; a failed save no longer\nfreezes the counting screen; blind counts no longer leak expected quantities.<\/li>\n
                    • Fix: comma decimals (12,5) are accepted; upgrade\/activation edge cases,\nthe count reminder after reactivation, and full data cleanup on uninstall.<\/li>\n
                    • Adds a Cancel button to a stocktake; clearer export column and safer CSVs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                      1.1.15<\/h4>\n\n
                        \n
                      • Fix: the admin menu icon rendered as a plain white square on some\ncolour schemes; the brand icon now displays in full colour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                        1.1.14<\/h4>\n\n
                          \n
                        • i18n: the checkout now opens in the plugin's selected language where\nsupported (EN\/ES\/DE\/FR\/IT), with automatic detection elsewhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
