# Inventory Settings

Use the **Inventory Settings** page to define how Dropship tracks your inventory and to manage your fulfillment locations.

## Inventory Tracking

You can choose how fabric tracks your inventory across the platform.

| **Tracking Mode** | **Description**                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

| **Managed**       | fabric tracks and shares inventory availability with your retail partners. Inventory is automatically updated when items are shipped, quantities are changed, or proposals are submitted. If you're using an integration, inventory will sync automatically. |
| **Unmanaged**     | fabric does not track inventory levels. All listed items are treated as in-stock at all times.                                                                                                                                                               |
