What is Sell-through?

Short answer

Sell-through is the share of available stock that sold in a period. Low sell-through ties up cash; high sell-through risks a stockout.

Formula

Sell-through = units sold / units available

Worked example

400 units available, 140 sold in a week is 35% sell-through. On Blinkit, sell-through only counts when the SKU was actually on the shelf.
