I’m using a pre order application and I have to check the (continue selling when out of stock) checkbox to make pre order button do its job when clicked. At the same time I’m displaying inventory status on product page but the problem is that if I have an out of stock quantity it display (in stock) because the (continue selling …) check box is selected.
Is there a way to display 0 quantity or out of stock message for out of stock items even if (continue selling …) checkbox is selected ?
Two things. Firstly, and most importantly, I would delete Miaa09’s access to your store. There is no bug in your store. Your robots.txt file is standard. This smells of a scam, or exploitation to try and get money from you to fix the “bugs”.
Secondly, to address your initial question, it would depend on the app you’re using. We built a preorder app for example which has options to show a custom message with your preorder/backorder products, so you can make it clear that the item is not currently in stock.
You may also be able to hide the “In stock” indicator for preorder products only using CSS.
If you’re interested in trying our app (Early Bird), I’d be happy to help you set this up.
I appreciate your concern, the issue was how can I display out of stock or 0 quantity on inventory status even if continue selling when out of stock is checked
