How to manage inventory for unisex products

Shopify Discussion
1

Hey,

I’ve had this problem for quite a while and haven’t found a way to fix it. Bascially, my website has collections of men’s t-shirt’s and women’s t-shirts. The t-shirts are unisex though. The t-shirts in these collections are the same, however I have created “different” products, one with male images and one with female images. The problem is that when someone for example purchases a women’s t-shirt, the men’s t-shirt inventory doesn’t decrease although the underlying t-shirts are the same. I am looking for a way to set up my inventory in such a way that no matter if a women’s or men’s t-shirt is sold, there is a common inventory for it. Sounds a bit confusing so anyone that wants clarifications feel free to ask

I would suggest that:

  • Create one product called “T-shirt” (initially say 100 in the inventory)
  • Assign the tags like:
    • Men: If its for men
    • Women: if its for women
    • Unisex: if its common for men and women
  • Now, if anyone buys a “T-shirt”, it will reduce the inventory. no matter whether its for men, women or unisex.

In this case the inventory is based on product.

Hope! it will help in your scenario.

I want though to have different product pictures for men and different product pictures for women. Is that possible?

Hi There!

I would suggest you use the “Bundles” app from the app store.

Since you have the three products, create a bundle with the three shirts, this app only syncs inventory between the three products, that way when one product is bought the two others and reduced and when a refund is issued it also syncs it back.

Let me know if you need help setting it up.

@greekattitude you can add multiple pictures/photos to single product.
But in frontend. when someone visits a product, he/she can see all the uploaded pictures/photos

Hope! it will help you.

Would you mind telling me how this is done?

Hi there, I’m facing the same issue now. Did Bundles solve the initial question asked in this thread?
