 * 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?

 * Are you using woocommerce?
 * If so, I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce)
   so its developers and support community can help you with this.
