Frequently Asked Questions

Does Arketa support per-location inventory tracking?

Not currently. Inventory quantity is tracked at the product level across your entire account, not per location. If you sell the same item at multiple studio locations, the quantity field reflects your total stock β€” Arketa does not break it down or deduct separately by location. For multi-location studios, we recommend managing location-level stock counts manually outside of Arketa.
