1. This function requires that you fill out the Stock level field for the products. If this field is not filled, the subsequent options will be ignored.
2. If a product reaches the stock level of 0 during an order, that is, two items are on stock but four items have been ordered, the available amount will be added to the shopping basket in the case of options with order stop.
Caution:
If you increase the stock level in the administration area, the product will not automatically be made
Visible again, since there could be other reasons for it to be
Not visible. You must set the product to
Visible either in the details or using batch processing; see
Products,
below.
You can configure the system to notify you as soon as a product has reached the stock level
0 or has reached or fallen below the minimum stock level. To do this, configure the corresponding e-mail messages in the e-mail settings. For more details, see
E-mail settings - Events,
above.
