|
|
|
Your site's Inventory control feature is currently disabled, meaning that your site will sell an unlimited amount of all non-SMC products. If you wish your site to manage inventory on non-SMC products, you must enable inventory control. |
|
Create Product Inventory The Set Inventory page is where you specify differences for each product variation.
Specify a Product SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). This is a unique code for each product variation. For instance, a Small, Blue, Cherry test1 product might have a SKU of test1sbc (sbc for Small, Blue, Cherry).
Specify how many of these products you have on hand, and a minimum amount you want to have. |
|
|
The minimum amount is an amount you won’t sell below. For instance, if you have 15 on hand, and a minimum quantity set for 5, you will only sell 10 of the 15 you have, so that you will always have at least 5 in stock.
You can specify a different product picture for each variation.
After you specify the variations, click Create Product to add the product variant to your site. When a shopper orders this product variant, you know exactly which one to ship to your customer. |
|
|
|
The Set Inventory screen lists the variants as you create them.
To change a variant, click Edit. To remove a variant, click Delete.
When done making changes, click Next.
