Set "in stock" and "backordered" status as metafields in Shopify by using Arigato Automation
Triggered when a product variant goes in or out of stock, this Workflow updates the stock status metafield to reflect its real-time availability. If in stock, it sets the field to 'In Stock'; otherwise, it changes to 'Expected Availability: 7-10 Business Days,' giving customers clear insights into product availability.
