Packs / Inventory Syncing
- Create a new product or update existing product with a variant option labeled
Pack Size
(note, it is CaSe SeNsItIvE) - Set inventory to not allow overselling and setup the remaining parts of your product as you normally would, setting the Pack Size Option value to a number equaling the number per package.
e.g.
Pack Size: 1
Pack Size: 3
Pack Size: 5 - Set all inventory to 0 (make sure you do this before the next step or it will add too many units)
- LAUNCH DAY / TIME
- Add the following tag to your product
Inventory:50
Where, 50 = the number on hand when you start selling
- Add the following tag to your product
- The system will go variant by variant enabling the correct inventory amounts for each, rounding down so you don't sell out.
Note - Each time an order is placed, the system will auto adjust all the remaining inventory amounts. If you are planning on a large # of orders in a very short period, I would suggest setting your inventory to the largest pack size + half the pack size (less)
So if you have a 1 / 3 and a 5 pack and 100 units, set your inventory tag to 93. This will prevent any overselling if two people order the same 5 pack within seconds of each other (it shouldn't happen, but some sneak through)
