Keep track of stock

[estrange]

Hi there. The items which I sell are very unique and usually have stock of only 1. Therefore, when someone purchases the item, the items needs to be taken off the shop when added to the cart. Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks, estrange

If it's not possible to do it on this software can someone point me to a company that's able to do this?

There's nothing built into the package that will do this. You need to add the code to delete the product. This would not be a simple deletion since more than one table is involved. If you delete it when the order is placed and that order gets canceled then you will have to add it back in. It would probably be better to just change its status as unvailable. Then in admin, when the order is marked as shipped, it would delete the items.

Thats for the response. When you mention to change the status as unavailable will that be automatic? For instance, when a customer purchases something it will just change the status by itself to unavailable. If so that will be even better.

The products table has a status field. So in checkout_process.php, when the order is completed, that field could be updated to show out of stock.
