Tagging products you have In Stock

Tagging products as In-Stock helps customers see what you have available for immediate purchase, encourages store visits, and improves how your products appear in local search results.

In-Stock vs. Available To Order

  • Every product in your FurnishNearMe Shop is either marked as In-Stock or Available To Order.

  • In-Stock products represent items you physically have on hand and ready for customers.

  • Available To Order products represent items you can order from your vendors but may not currently stock in your store.

Where In-Stock tags appear

Products you sell are displayed in two key places:

  • On your personal Shop page.

  • In localized product search results for your area.

In-Stock products get priority in search Results

  • Products you tag as In-Stock are shown first in search results to local shoppers.

  • This means customers browsing in your area will see the products you have on hand before products that are only available to order.

  • Prioritizing in-stock items helps increase the chances of a customer visiting your store.

How to tag products as In-Stock

  • You can manually tag individual products as In-Stock and set the retail price directly in your Shop.

  • This gives you control over what’s shown to your customers and helps ensure your inventory stays accurate.

Expiration of In-Stock tags

  • In-Stock tags automatically expire after 90 Days.

  • When the tag expires, the product’s status reverts to Available To Order to prevent old inventory from appearing as still in stock.

  • You can reset the 90-day timer at any time if the product is still available in your store.

Removing In-Stock status

  • You can manually mark a product as no longer in stock at any time.

  • This helps keep your Shop accurate and avoids disappointing customers.

Using data feeds for In-Stock tagging

  • If you maintain a data feed for platforms like Google Shopping or Facebook, you can use that feed to import your in-stock product list to FurnishNearMe.

  • This method saves time and helps ensure your In Stock tagging stays accurate as your inventory changes.

Why accurate In-Stock tagging matters

  • Improves visibility for your products in search results.

  • Helps customers know which items are available for immediate purchase.

  • Encourages in-store visits by highlighting local availability.

  • Reduces customer frustration and creates a better shopping experience.
