Need app to manage complex inventory. Workshop for 25 pax, choose from 1 of 7 products

Topic summary

Seeking a Shopify app or configuration to sell a single painting workshop with a hard cap of 25 attendees. Each attendee must pick exactly one of seven items to paint, and each item has a different price.

Key requirements:

  • Enforce a global capacity of 25 seats total, regardless of which items are chosen (any distribution, including all choosing the same item).
  • Allow per-item pricing differences at selection/checkout.
  • Tie inventory/availability to the workshop seat count, not to individual product stock.
  • Achieve this via an app-based solution with minimal configuration complexity.

Pain point: managing variable pricing alongside a single shared capacity pool appears to be the main hurdle.

Status: No solutions or app recommendations provided yet; the poster is seeking guidance on an app or setup that supports variable-price choices with a shared seat limit.

I need some help with a solution (ideally an app) for this one.

  • A client is running a painting workshop limited to 25 spaces / people.
  • Each person needs to choose one of 7 different products they can choose to paint.
  • Each product is a different price, which I think is the main hurdle.

In theory all 25 people could paint the same item or 20 could paint a table and 5 could paint a mirror etc. you get the drift…

The hurdle is finding an app to correctly configure so that only 25 people can attend and they can choose to paint whatever they want.

Help please! Thanks so much.
