### Step 2: Configure Inventory Options
There are several available options when it comes to the configuration of your Inventory and bellow we will provide more information on each one of those:

* **Manage Stock** – This will enable the global Stock management feature so you can manage the entire stock of your Store. Keep in mind that the feature will be enabled by default
* **Hold Stock (minutes)** – The amount of time in which the pending orders will be preserved
* **Notifications** – Here you can enable notifications which will be fired when certain stock is close to 0
* **Notification Recipient** – The email address of the person who should be notified about the ending stock of certain product. This is pretty useful if you have a distributor and if you would like to automate the process
* **Low Stock Threshold** – The amount of stock when the notification for low stock will be triggered
* **Out Of Stock Threshold** – The amount of stock when the notification for Out of Stock should be triggered
* **Out Of Stock Visibility** – If the products Out of Stock should be displayed in the Catalog
* **Stock Display Format** – If the amount of stock products should be shown entirely on every product’s page
