| Field | Description |

| In stock | Stock status at item level. In stock , current stock balance. Oversellable , sell a product that isn't in stock, for example with a longer delivery time.

| Weight (g) | The product's weight. Taken primarily from this field; if missing, the product-level weight field is used. |
