    The Square for Retail inventory sell-through report provides an organized daily snapshot of all of the information you need to effectively manage your inventory, including making purchasing decisions, price adjustments, and identifying dead stock.

    Sell-through is a percentage that compares the amount of inventory you receive from a vendor against what’s actually sold over a given period of time.

    Before you begin

    Although benchmark sell-through rates vary by industry and item type, a general rule of thumb is that any item at or above 80% is excellent and any item below 40% is concerning. A sell-through rate over 100% means the item or variation has been oversold and inventory has gone negative.

    Inventory tracking must be turned on in your Square Dashboard under Items > Settings > Inventory and the item or variation must have either been sold or had an inventory adjustment in the last 365 days for a sell-through report to be generated.
