How to calculate inventory turnover
Why inventory turnover matters for Shopify users
Excess inventory ties up capital, incurs storage costs, and risks obsolescence. Insufficient inventory causes stockouts and lost sales. Turnover rate helps you find the right balance.
Shopify merchants can analyse turnover by product, variant, and location to identify slow movers for clearance and fast movers that need deeper stock.
