Product Configuration
The "Products" tab helps you configure how items are handled in your shop.
Allow ordering out-of-stock
products. You can choose to accept or
refuse to take orders when you run out
of stock of a product. If the feature is
activated, your customers can pay and
confirm their orders.
Enable stock management. By default
you should leave this feature
enabled. This affects the entire
inventory management of your store,
such as the management according to
status, etc.
Display quantity on product page. By
enabling this feature your visitors can
see the quantities of each object
available in stock. Displaying this
information can be used to stimulate
sales in the case where the quantity in
stock is low. The quantities displayed
are the attributes and combination
selected.
Enable JqZoom instead of Thickbox on
product page. When you activate this
feature a zoom will appear whenever a mouse is scrolled over a photo’s image on your store. You can
configure the zoom size by modifying the image value in the “Image” tab.
Display Unavailable Product Attributes on Product Page.
Your product can be composed of many different combinations or attributes.
Go to the “Configure Attributes” section on page 28 to understand attributes and combinations.
When one or several of them are not available, you have several possibilities:
• First possibility: Leave the feature “display unavailable
product attributes on product page" active.
Example: The product "iPod Shuffle" is no longer available in
"Blue" in our store.
By activating the feature, the product’s variety will remain
visible in the shop. See screenshot below. A message indicates
that the product is no longer available in the chosen option and
invites customers to choose another variation.
