Stock Control in Options

6 votes

It would be handy to add stock control to the Options feature. Depending on what you're selling, it's sometimes easier to use the Options rather than the Variants. For example, we sell frozen meals and on one of our "Boxes" we allow the customer to choose which meals goes into their box. Because you can use the Drop-Down feature in the Options this allows the customer to choose from a range of different products for each Meal they add to their box. We believe it is simpler for the customer rather than using the Variants Feature, however it is difficult to control the stock so would be handy to have that in there alongside the Amount column where you can add an extra cost.

The Purpose of Product Options is for services such as product customisation or gift-wrapping - hence the lack of stock control functionality. You may however want to use the Product Bundles feature: https://support.ekm.com/support/solutions/articles/44002271065 to allow your customers the functionality to select different meals and still keep an eye on the stock levels. :)
