Skip to main contentInventory Type
Products in Meadow can track their inventory in 1 of 2 ways that will be determined via their inventoryType property.
option tracking
This is used for pre-packaged inventory. In some states like California, all compliant products are pre-packed so all products should be option tracking.
For these types of products, inventory and costs (movingAverageCostPerUnit) is attached to the product options as opposed to the product itself. With this case, the option.amount property is disregarded as everything is tracked by units. So the quantity of a line item in an order is exactly how much inventory will be subtracted from that product option.
product tracking
This is used for weighing out inventory to be sold “deli style” and not in pre-packaged units.
Products have inventory and costs (movingAverageCostPerUnit) set at the product level as opposed to the product option level. An example of this would be flower product where there is a raw amount of inventory (I.E. 750 grams). When a product option is purchased, the amount of inventory used is option.amount * quantity. For example, if you bought 2 eighths of a product option with amount 3.5, it would subtract 7 from the inventory.
none
When inventoryType is set to none, it means that this product does not track inventory.
