Questions before getting started?
Everything you need to know about managing inventory directly inside WordPress.
Do I need WooCommerce?
No. WP Inventory Manager works directly inside WordPress and does not require WooCommerce. It is built for teams that need inventory management without a full ecommerce checkout system.
Can I use it for free?
Yes. The free version lets you create inventory items, organize them into categories, configure fields, upload images, and display inventory on your WordPress site.
Can I display inventory on my website?
Yes. You can display inventory on any WordPress page or post using shortcodes. You can show full inventory lists, specific categories, or individual item details.
Can visitors search and sort inventory?
Yes. WP Inventory Manager supports public-facing inventory browsing with search and sort options, so visitors can find items without accessing your WordPress dashboard.
What kind of inventory can I manage?
You can manage equipment, tools, parts, vehicles, gallery collections, museum items, rental inventory, internal assets, and other physical items.
Can I track locations and reservations?
Yes. The core plugin handles inventory records, and add-ons can extend it with locations, reservations, import/export, ledgers, notifications, and more.
Is WP Inventory Manager good for asset tracking?
Yes. It is a strong fit for internal asset tracking because you can manage items, quantities, categories, locations, custom fields, images, and availability in WordPress.
When should I use WooCommerce instead?
Use WooCommerce if you need carts, payments, shipping, taxes, and ecommerce orders. Use WP Inventory Manager if you need inventory management without ecommerce complexity.
