[SOLVED] Showins as in stock, but stock quantity is zero


Recommended Posts

Hi Methylen,

Can you please clarify this a little bit? On the Product List page, I see where it says Out of Stock, and when you click on a product, it still says that the product is out of stock. Is there an issue there? Because from your screenshots everything appears to look fine.

Ah I see. I was using Google Translate, and it defaulted to the Swedish translation of på lager, which actually means "Out of Stock," while in Norwegian it means "In Stock." Very strange, but I'm glad that was cleared up at least.

 

I'm going to run some tests to see what may be causing this, and will respond back as soon as I have some more information.

Hi Methylen,

I'm looking into this for you, and this appears to be due to the fact that you're allowing your items to be ordered when out of stock. What your "in stock" text on the product list page means from a literal sense is "available," while on the product page you get the availability message "Not in stock, can be ordered."

 

You can change this option in your Catalog when you edit a product.

I hope this helps.

Oh, that makes sense. But it was my intention to make them available, I can't stock all the items I am offering due to prices and stock volume. How would i go about removing the showing of the "in stock" text, i tried leaving the field blank on the product but it's still there, do i need to remove it in the translation file or something? leaving the "Displayed text when allowed to be back-ordered" field blank does have the desired effect. but since that's the one i wanna keep :)
