Manage Reservations in Liqnic Admin

In this guide, you’ll learn how to manage reservations in your store.

What is a Reservation?

A reservation is a reserved quantity of an inventory item. Liqnic automatically creates reservations for inventory items whose variants are purchased. This ensures that the inventory item is not sold to another customer while the order is being processed. Once the item in the order is fulfilled, the reservation is removed.

You can also manually create reservations for inventory items. For example, you can reserve a quantity of an inventory item for an offline sale or a customer who has requested a reservation.

1. Go to Inventory from the sidebar.
2. Click the Reservations sub-item shown in the sidebar.

In the list, you can see reservation details such as the SKU and reserved quantity. You can also search, filter, and sort the reservations to find a specific item.
