Stock Control with WP E-Commerce
June 30, 2009
The WP E-Commerce Plugin allows you to set numbers of stock for any product listed in your shop. The system will then count down each time an order is placed until you are out of stock or you can set the stock to 0 yourself when you have run out.
Once this happens, the Add to Cart button beside that item disappears and is replaced with a message stating “This item has sold out”. As soon as you are ready, you untick the limited stock box and you are ready to go again.

They need to be displayed prominently in a categories widget on your sidebar, in a sitemap or as part of your website navigation as this is the primary way your readers will find posts of interest to them. You can see all my blog categories on my sitemap or on the sidebar of this and all my other blog posts. [Read more]
