Explore Product History

Product history is where you can check the inventory change of a particular product. It's a log recording the inventory change and how it was caused. Please note, as it records the inventory change, so you will not be able to find any product history for non-inventory products. Also, no log will be created if your action doesn't have an impact on inventory, for example, refunding an inventory product without putting the product back into inventory.

You can visit the product history by clicking on VIEW PRODUCT HISTORY on the product page of a product.
