# Share Stock with Customers and Partners

### Overview

When customers can see your stock availability, they ask fewer questions and order sooner. This guide sets up your Digital Warehouse and decides who can see it.

---

### Before You Start

- Products in your Product Catalog and your locations on your company profile.
- Pro or Premium. Adding stock is included on Pro (up to 100 items) and Premium (unlimited), and both can make a warehouse public, keep it private or share it with selected partners. On Free and Basic you can view warehouses that others make public or share with you.
- Your current stock list with item IDs, quantities and availability.

### Steps

#### Step 1: Check your catalog and locations

Each warehouse item links a product from your catalog to one of your locations, so make sure both are on your profile.

#### Step 2: Add your items

Open **Digital Warehouse** and add items: the warehouse name, the location, the product, the primary item ID and any equivalent IDs, the quantity and the availability (In stock, Ready to ship, Backorder within 2 or 6 weeks, or On demand / made to order).

#### Step 3: Decide who can see it

- **Public warehouse:** everyone on ScopeMatch can see it.
- **Shared:** only the organizations you choose can see it.
- **Private:** only your company can see it.

#### Step 4: Let your customers know

Customers see shared or public stock on your company profile. On Pro and Premium, they can also find it by searching warehouses by product, company or location.

#### Step 5: Keep it current

Update quantities and availability regularly. For many items, export them, update the file and upload it again.

#### Step 6: Review access

Check who your warehouses are shared with from time to time, and remove access you no longer need.

### Tips

- Use the item IDs your customers already know, and add equivalent IDs.
- Name warehouses clearly, such as Main DC or Houston Yard.
- Keep reserved stock in a warehouse you share only with that customer.
