One shared inventory for product variants - limited edition products

One shared inventory for product variants - limited edition products

Hi all,

 

We are building a storefront for items that run in limited quantities. We want our products to have variants but be limited by a inventory count on the product itself rather than by variant as they are produced to order. For example:

 

Item A is having a 400 count run.

Item A can be ordered in size X, Y and Z.

Someone orders Item A and size Z. Count/inventory goes down to 399.

There are 399 of Item As remaining in any size (X Y and Z).

When count reaches 0, no more Item A can be ordered in any of it's sizes

 

 Our Shopfront is headless and is running off GraphQL, what would be the best solution for this?

 

Many thanks 🙂

Hi @jakub_s1 ,

We recently released Fusion Inventory which helps with this. With Fusion Inventory you could solve the example problem by creating a Material called "Product A"  that has an inventory of 400 pieces and then creating a bill of material for each product variant as follows:

 

Bill of Materials:

  • 1x Product A

 

After you enable inventory sync, the app will take care of syncing all product variants' inventories after an orders are placed/cancelled or new stock arrives.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I can be reached at aosoble[AT]fusioninventory.app

Hi @jakub_s1,

The Easify Inventory Sync app can help you manage your inventory issue effectively 😊.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create an Inventory Group: Use the app to group all variants (X, Y, Z) of your item A into a single inventory group with a mutual inventory of 400.

  2. Automatic Updates: When any variant is purchased, the app will automatically adjust the inventory for all variants within the same group, keeping your stock levels synchronized.

The app is user-friendly and straightforward. I hope you give it a try!

Easify Product Options: Any product options app can help you create custom options, but Easify turns those options into sales and conversions!
Easify Inventory Sync: Automate inventory syncing for Bundles, Duplicates, and Raw Materials. Say goodbye to manual tracking headaches.
Easify Product Attachments: Enrich your store with downloadable content. Easily add PDFs and other files to product or any page.
