Website showing "Out of Stock" incorrectly

4.5

An item shows as unavailable even though it was just advertised as in stock.

Symptoms
  • "Out of Stock" banner
  • Cannot add to cart
  • Status changes on refresh
Possible Causes
  • Inventory sync lag
  • Cached page
  • Regional availability

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Hard Refresh

Press Ctrl+F5 to ensure you aren't seeing an old cached version of the page.

2

Check Different Size/Color

Sometimes only one specific variant is out of stock.

3

Try Incognito

Rules out browser-side caching issues.

When to See a Technician

High-traffic sites (like during a sale) often have a delay between a sale and the inventory counter updating.
