# Product readiness checks

See what still stops customers from buying a product and where to fix it.

- Where: Products → a product → Readiness

A published product is not always a product someone can buy. It also needs a price in the customer's market, stock, a delivery option that reaches the customer, a way to pay and tax settings. Poltura checks this whole path for every product and tells you in plain words what is missing.

_The Readiness panel shows the verdict and the first things to fix._

## Where you see the checks

- **On the product page.** The **Readiness** panel shows a verdict and counts, such as the number of blockers and things to check, or **Ready to publish** and **Everything checks out**.
- **On Selling setup.** Findings about the whole store, such as a missing delivery option, are listed with their fixes. See [Store settings and selling defaults](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/selling/).
- **On Home.** The setup tasks for a new store use the same checks. See [Setup guide](https://docs.poltura.com/en/start/setup-guide/).

## The verdicts

- **Sellable**: customers can buy the product.
- **Not live**: everything is in place, but the product is not published.
- **Not sellable**: at least one blocker stops every purchase.
- **Needs attention**: the product can be bought, but something should be looked at, for example a version that is out of stock.
- **Couldn't check**: one or more checks could not run. Editing still works. Reload the page in a moment.

## What is checked

The checks cover three levels.

- **The store**: a storefront exists and is connected to your website, at least one market is ready with a currency and countries, a warehouse serves the storefront, a delivery group and a delivery option reach the countries of the market, a payment method is available and tax is set up.
- **The product**: it has something to buy, it is in your storefront, it is published and it is in a delivery group.
- **Each version**: it has a price in every market, it has stock in a warehouse that serves the storefront or may be sold without stock, and for digital products the delivery rule can be resolved.

## Fix what blocks a product

1. Open the product and read the **Readiness** panel. It names the most serious findings first.
2. Fix what concerns the product itself on the product page: prices under **Pricing** or in the version table, stock under **Inventory**, the channel under **Sales channels** and the delivery group under **Additional settings**. See [Prices](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/prices/) and [Edit a product](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/edit-a-product/).
3. To publish, choose **Published** in the status list next to the title.
4. Fix what concerns the whole store on **Selling setup**. There a finding with **Fix this** is repaired for you, and **Open** takes you to the page where you solve it yourself.
5. Reload the product page. The verdict updates once nothing stands in the way.

> **Good to know**
>
> **Set up standard delivery** on Selling setup changes store-wide selling setup: it creates a main warehouse, a default delivery group and a standard delivery option if they do not exist. Nothing that already exists is changed. Review the result under [Delivery](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/delivery/).

## Good to know

- The checks never change anything by themselves. Only **Fix this** on Selling setup and your own edits do.
- Findings are counted per version where that matters. A finding can say that it affects several versions.
- A store that sells only digital products or services is not blocked by a missing delivery group in the same way a store with physical products is.
- The **Readiness** panel can be switched off under [Store settings and selling defaults](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/selling/).

## If something goes wrong

- **"Couldn't check right now"**. The store did not answer the check. Reload the page in a moment.
- **"This version has no price in this market"**. Enter the price for that market, see [Prices](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/prices/).
- **"This version tracks stock but has no stock item"**. Link or create a stock item for the version, see [Inventory](https://docs.poltura.com/en/inventory/).
- **"No delivery method reaches your customers"**. Add a delivery option for the countries of your market under [Delivery](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/delivery/), or use **Set up standard delivery**.
- **"This market has no way to take payment"**. Switch on a payment method for the market under [Payments](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/payments/).
