Inventory Display

The Inventory Display extension lets you show stock status and available quantity on an item's Product Details page (PDP). You can customize the behavior for different types of inventory, such as special order or drop ship items. You can also create an additional message to display when an item is low on inventory.

This extension displays different notifications, depending on how you set up your web store. For more information about what determines inventory visibility with different types of items, see Item Inventory.

For assembly items, the extension displays the number of completed products available. For matrix items, the extension adapts to display each item option’s inventory level.

Important:

Commerce extensions are only available if provisioned, installed, and activated for a selected domain in your account. For more information, see Commerce Extensions.

Note:

Extensions require SuiteCommerce or the Aconcagua release of SCA or later.

To enable Inventory Display for a product, perform the following steps:

• Configure Properties

• Update Field Sets

Configure Properties

You can determine how Inventory Display appears on your website by configuring properties at the extension level and item level. Configuring properties at the extension level determines the settings for all items, but you can override these settings for specific items by configuring properties at the item level.

You can choose different status messages to display for regular, special order, and drop ship items, and create messages for when an item is low in inventory. You can also turn off Inventory Display messages for some or all items.

You can update item records individually or use Mass Update to configure Inventory Display for entire commerce categories. For more information about using the Mass Update functionality, see Mass Changes or Updates.
