#  Using the Inventory API

## Step 1 - Call [Get Inventory Variants](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/stores/catalog-v1/inventory/get-inventory-variants.md) to retrieve product variants

::::tabs
:::REST_TAB
```curl
curl -X POST https://www.wixapis.com/stores/v2/inventoryItems/be547028-fb08-b962-75e8-3f3e56da9ee3/getVariants \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -H 'Authorization: <AUTH>' \
```
:::
:::SDK_TAB
```js
import { inventory } from "@wix/stores";

const inventoryId = "be547028-fb08-b962-75e8-3f3e56da9ee3"

async function getInventoryVariants(inventoryId) {
  const response = await inventory.getInventoryVariants(inventoryId);
}
```
:::
::::

From the result, you can see whether inventory is being tracked for this product:
```json
{
  "inventoryItem": {
    "id": "f8753103-0b3a-b24a-4931-50de280ac31a",
    "externalId": "078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5",
    "productId": "078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5",
    "trackQuantity": true,
    "variants": [
      {
        "variantId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
        "inStock": true,
        "quantity": 4
      }
    ],
    "lastUpdated": "2020-08-31T20\:05\:40.348Z",
    "numericId": "1598904314932014"
  }
}
```

## Step 2 - Call [Update Inventory Status](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/stores/catalog-v1/inventory/update-inventory-variants.md) to update specific variant of a product 

Update whether the product inventory is tracked:
::::tabs
:::REST_TAB
```curl
curl -X PATCH https://www.wixapis.com/stores/v2/inventoryItems/078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5 \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -H 'Authorization: <AUTH>' \
   -d '
       {
       	"inventoryItem": {
           "trackQuantity": false,
       	}
       }'

```
:::
:::SDK_TAB
```js
import { inventory } from "@wix/stores";

const productId = "078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5";

const inventoryItem = {
    trackQuantity: false
  }

async function updateInventoryVariants(productId, inventoryItem) {
  const response = await inventory.updateInventoryVariants(
    productId,
    inventoryItem
  );
}

```
:::

For a non-tracked product, you should update the `inStock` value:
::::tabs
:::REST_TAB
```curl
curl -X PATCH https://www.wixapis.com/stores/v2/inventoryItems/078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5 \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -H 'Authorization: <AUTH>' \
   -d '
       {
       	"inventoryItem": {
       		"trackQuantity": false,
       		"variants": [
            {
                "variantId": "00000000-0000-0001-0005-9a596c8e6f10",
                "inStock": false
            }
          ]
       	}
       }'

```
:::
:::SDK_TAB
```js
import { inventory } from "@wix/stores";

const productId = "078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5";

const inventoryItem = {
    trackQuantity: false,
    variants: [
      {
          variantId: "00000000-0000-0001-0005-9a596c8e6f10",
          inStock: false
      }
    ]
  }

async function updateInventoryVariants(productId, inventoryItem) {
  const response = await inventory.updateInventoryVariants(
    productId,
    inventoryItem
  );
}

```
:::
::::

For tracked products, you should update quantity:
::::tabs
:::REST_TAB
```curl
curl -X PATCH https://www.wixapis.com/stores/v2/inventoryItems/078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5 \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -H 'Authorization: <AUTH>' \
   -d '
       {
       	"inventoryItem": {
       		"trackQuantity": false,
       		"variants": [
            {
                "variantId": "00000000-0000-0001-0005-9a596c8e6f10",
                "quantity": 4
            }
          ]
       	}
       }'

```
:::
:::SDK_TAB
```js
import { inventory } from "@wix/stores";

const productId = "078acefc-f4c5-4db5-b6ce-af21d7f53ce5";

const inventoryItem = {

    variants: [
      {
          variantId: "00000000-0000-0001-0005-9a596c8e6f10",
          quantity: 4
      }

  }

async function updateInventoryVariants(productId, inventoryItem) {
  const response = await inventory.updateInventoryVariants(
