 * Hi, may I know why we receive a backorder notification even if ‘Manage Stock’
   in product data is not enabled, therefore ‘Allow Backorders’ isn’t set?[https://www.screencast.com/t/38CTIpu7fZDq](https://www.screencast.com/t/38CTIpu7fZDq)
 * Also, any reason why the stocks updated to -2 when only 1 product is back-ordered?

 * Hi there [@shanedelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/),
 * It’s possible to manage the stock levels and backorder status of individual variations
   regardless of the Inventory settings for the parent product.
 * If you check the variations (**Product Data → Variations**), is “Manage Stock”
   and backorders enabled at the variation level?

 * Hey there [@shanedelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/),
 * I’d suggest disabling PayPal PDT and testing for the issue again. With both PDT
   and IPN active, the site will receive payment confirmation twice.

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
