Hi @ScottArcher ,
Here’s a couple of potential solutions:
-
You could view this as ‘personalisations’ to a single T Shirt product, and as such could use a 3rd party app such as ‘Product Personalizer’ (I am not affiliated, just searched for it). Not sure if this would handle the total inventory issue if that is vital.
-
You could deselect inventory tracking on the product itself. This would allow you to add design, colour and size as variants. This would allow people to see and purchase the product variants even though they have a inventory number of ‘0’. You could then just look at the Orders to see how many of each you will need to produce. A similar approach is to select ‘allow purchases when out of stock’ on the product itself also. It achieves essentially the same result.
-
Alternatively, you could comission a custom app to be developed to handle this use case where you want to track the inventory of the product as a whole rather than tracking the inventory of the variants. This may already exist, I’m sure if it does someone will comment. If not, I’d be happy to help develop this custom solution.
However, personally, I think option 2 is the most sensible as long as there is not a very fixed total number of t shirts that can’t be changed, in which case 1 or 3 make more sense.
Kind regards,
James
