Darft Orders overstep inventory

Darft Orders overstep inventory

Hi Community,

 

we are soon going to a big trade show where we planned to accept orders through the Shopify app.

Specifically, in the backend page for orders, we planned to click "create order" and then file the order for the customer.


There are two issues we have with this:

1. You cannot add product in sale units, only in steps of 1.

2. You only see inventory once but not when adding more units to the cart.

 

Because of this we are worried to sell more inventory than we have available.

Since production takes a long time of our items this would be a disaster for our credibility with our customers.

 

Can anyone help us either to change that interface so that we cannot oversell with draft orders? Or does anyone have a recommendation for an app which can help us here?

 

Thank you!!

Hey, I would say using draft orders for a popup event is quite laborious. What if customers are waiting at your stand to purchase something, and you have to create draft orders for each customer? That will take aaaages... Plus, it is true that with draft orders at such an event, you can oversellTo prevent overselling, ensure that inventory tracking is enabled for all products. You can also use the inventory scanner feature to quickly check inventory levels before adding products to an order. 

 

Why not use Shopify POS Lite instead for such popup Events and be a bit more professional about it?

 

More on that here. See the hardware here.
