How to do an inventory count in Wix Stores, and keep a history of every stock change

Wix keeps your current quantity. It does not keep the story of how you got there, and it has no stocktake. This page covers how to count a Wix store by hand, where that stops, and how to count with the phones you already own.

What Wix Stores does natively

Counting by hand

Where it stops: two people cannot work on the same list, a sale made during the count turns a correct figure into a wrong one, nothing tells you which products nobody counted, and once you have typed the new quantities there is no record of what the old ones were.

What a count you can trust needs

What MT: Inventory Count & History does on Wix

MT: Inventory Count & History adds the two things above to a Wix store: a stocktake, and a log of every stock movement.

Known limits. A product whose quantity is not tracked in Wix ("In stock / Out of stock" instead of a number) produces no stock movement and cannot be counted; switch on quantity tracking for it first. On the classic Wix Stores catalogue, variants have no barcode field, so scanning matches the SKU.

Price. The free plan covers one open count at a time, 500 variants per count, one phone, the default location and 30 days of log. Pro is $7.99 per month: 5,000 variants per count, unlimited phones and locations, a 2-year log, CSV exports. The customer guide shows a full count with real screenshots.

Frequently asked questions

Does Wix Stores have a stocktake feature?
You can edit quantities, and the Wix mobile app can scan a barcode to find a product by SKU. There is no counting session with review and grouped adjustments.

Can I see the history of inventory changes in Wix?
Not natively: Wix lists product history as a feature request. The app records every stock movement from the day it is installed.

Do I need barcode scanners?
No. Any recent phone works, from a QR code, with no app and no login. USB and Bluetooth scanners also work.

What happens if a product sells while I am counting?
The variant is flagged as changed, and the live stock is read again when you apply.

Why did a test order lower my stock and appear as an order in the log?
From 1 November 2026, Wix lets site owners place a test order through the live checkout with a test payment method (Test Purchase Flow). Wix told developers that test orders follow the same lifecycle as real ones and reduce inventory. The stock change reaches the app like a sale, so the log shows it with the reason Order. Match the product, quantity and time with your test order and ignore the line, or cancel the test order in Wix and restock the items: the stock goes back up and that movement is logged too.
