Stock Level Not Being Lowered.

Can someone explain the stock reduction level to me?

 

When does it get lowered? Does it only get lowered at Checkout Success after payment is made?

 

I have Paypal IPN and not all users return back to the site, is there a way to reduce it BEFORE redirecting?

This must be a really hard question. I am having this issue too, and have seen this asked many times in the forum, but no answer. :(

 

I am working on it now. If I find an answer, I will post it here...

Click on: Configuration --> Stock

 

On that page set:

 

Check stock level true

Subtract stock true

Allow Checkout false

 

The stock quantity gets lowered in checkout_process.php

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Thanks for you reply. I had that setup properly already. It still does not reduce properly.

 

I have been going through the checkout_process.php file in order to find the issue, and I see that it may be a bit beyond my skill, but I notice a lot of "if" statements involving whether or not "download enabled" is true. Is it meant to NOT subtract stock for downloadable products?

 

One might ask, why would you need to? But I using a function in the product info to take that stock quantity and convert into showing the number of times the product was downloaded.

 

I suppose I could also pull this data from the number of times the product is ordered, but at the time that didn't occur to me. ;)

By design osC doesn't reduce stock quantity on items setup for download.

 

I recently helped someone else make a small modification to change that.

I hope that's what you seek.

IT IS!

 

Thank you very much. That fixed the issue right up. (Can't say I followed your rule #1 though) ;)
