Out of Stock *** - where is it ?

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I often have emails or phone calls of people telling me they cant checkout and it is always because they have selected more stock than we have and they have missed the three splats at the end of the product description - ***

 

Does anyone know how I can change this text? I know how to edit the text at the bottom of the screen but I can find where this text is hidden in the code. Maybe there is a contrib which changes how the checkout works or a simple modification to the php that someone could suggest would save me a fair bit of time.

 

Thanks in advance.

Tony

Check your admin side under configuration/stock if Allow checkout is set to false (and seti to true)

 

true will Allow customer to checkout even if there is insufficient stock so hopefully this will solve your problem

Thanks, I will look into this but I assume it will continue without charging for the missing items?? - I will read up on it, thanks, I didnt think of that option, I should have made it easier for people to notice by increasing the font size and adding some html to the message at the bottom of the screen so now they should not miss the problem even if they do not notice the three small splats.

 

Thanks for the help diy but if anyone can tell me how to change the 3 splats *** to something else I would still appreciate it.

 

Cheers,

Tony.

Is there an addon which displays "out of stock" instead of "add to cart" when quantity is zero? If there was, this would also be useful for showing products not for sale, eg we plan to have a free verses page in our new store. They are free, but we want them added in the products area. Just set that product as zero qty.
