A store owner reports a competitor is repeatedly probing inventory by adding items to the cart and increasing quantities until no more can be added (i.e., up to available stock).
The competitor is identifiable because they subscribed to the newsletter, which reveals their basket total; this occurs at least three times daily and is causing frustration.
The core concern is exposure of real-time inventory levels and the nuisance of constant checks via the cart mechanism.
The owner is seeking a way to stop or block this behavior.
No solutions, actions, or consensus have been provided yet; the thread remains open and unresolved.
I have a competitor constantly checking our inventory levels, adding products to the basket and increasing the quantity until no more can be added.
I can tell this as they are signed up to our newsletter and that shows their basket total, they are on at least 3 times daily and it’s infruiating!
Is there a way of stopping this?
