 * Hi
    I am looking at offering Backorders to our customers for stock that is on
   its way to us. I know how to turn on the Backorder in each product (we have products
   with variations), but how do I set the quantity of items that is coming in so
   we don’t sell anymore than what we have?

 * Hi [@greenimagelifestyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greenimagelifestyle/)!
 * There isn’t a default option to limit available quantities for backorders in 
   WooCommerce settings, but someone made this feature request on our Ideas Board.
   Feel free to add your vote(s) to it. The more popular an idea becomes, the more
   of a priority it is for our developers to review.

 * For the moment, any extra option not included within the default functions needs
   to be added via plugin/extension or using a custom-coded solution.
 * Anyway, I found a plugin that could be helpful; check for the PRO version:

 * Also, I’m sure that on this URL [https://woocommerce.com/customizations/](https://woocommerce.com/customizations/)
   you will find an agency or expert developer that can provide you a code for this
   specific requirement.
 * I hope this helps!
