2 inventory items in one item. how to maintain stock on both

Hi all,

Im sure this has been asked, but I can not find any solution.

I have a product that I keep inventory on. When someone buys that product they are forced to pick and option that I also need to keep inventory on.

How can I do this on one product listing?

I have the “King Product Options” app which is great but it wont keep ANY inventory, just options.

Could really use some help here.

Variants are not the solution as I can rightly count on which options the customer will choose and risk over or underselling in one direction or another.

Hi @pingywon

What kind of options? Why this one cannot be applied as a variant?

Ok so lets say i have

10x A - A is 5 different options for you to pick from

10x B - B is another 5 options.

When you choose your combination I need it to remove inventory of 1x from both A and B.

Variants only show me inventory for all the combos of A & B and this would not be accurate as these are custom items.

Does that make anymore sense?

Thank you for the reply

Oh. That is a little tricky. I have not seen any solution for this other than using an app to deduct the inventory when purchase but you will need a customized app.

Hello, As per my experience to manage inventory for product options on a single listing, consider using product variants, where each variant represents an option with its own inventory. If “King Product Options” doesn’t support this, explore other e-commerce apps that offer advanced inventory tracking. If all else fails, think about custom development to tailor the feature to your needs. Always backup your data before making major changes.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks.

yeah. thank you for understanding the issue at hand.

How would I go about getting something like this custom built?

Hi @pingywon ,

Consider leveraging Easify Product Options as an alternative to your current app. With this approach, you can create a combo product alongside individual products A & B, complete with their respective variants.

Then, proceed to establish custom options for the combo product and associate each variant of products A & B as related option values. As a result, when customers select options from products A & B, the inventory levels for these items will be accurately deducted. Take a closer look at my quick demonstration below :hugs: :

However, one aspect that requires clarification is your mention of “10x A” & “10xB”. Could you elaborate on what this signifies and specify how many products from A & B can be selected within your combo? This information is crucial for determining whether a more intricate setup is necessary.
