 * Hi [@stijnmscheper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stijnmscheper/),
 * By default, stock is reduced when an order gets to the **Processing ** status
   which also implies that payment has been received.
 * For reference, kindly check the order statuses documentation here – [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/#order-statuses](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/#order-statuses).
 * Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

 * Hi [@abwaita](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abwaita/),
 * I have tested it, but the stock gets reduced also when on hold. So when there
   is no payment yet.

 * Hi [@stijnmscheper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stijnmscheper/),
 * Apologies for the delayed response here.
 * By default, when an order is in “On hold” status, the stock gets reduced. This
   is to allow some time for the customer to pay for the order.
 * If the customer fails to pay, then the order would go to the “Failed” status 
   and the stock would be restored.
 * There isn’t a setting to prevent the stock from being reduced when the order 
   status is “On hold”. You can, however, reduce the time the stock is added back
   to the inventory by reducing the “Hold Stock” time.
 * I recommend checking this guide for further insight on the `Hold Stock` setting:
 * [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/configuring-woocommerce-settings/#products-inventory-options](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/configuring-woocommerce-settings/#products-inventory-options)
 * Hope this helps.
