Disbling Product Quantity option

[swapnilsarwe]

I am working on a shopping cart where the products ordered - generally are not limited to the inventory.

Actually its the home made food product company, so we can take up order as the customer places it, where in actually the quantity available is not important.
Because actual production takes place after the order is placed. So it does not matter whether order is for 1 item or 10000 item.

Options I am looking for:
1. Disabling the quantity option from the products catalogue. In admin I can choose an option that I dont require availability check for this product. Which will make sure that the customer does not get any alerts saying the quantity ordered is invalid as per the stock available - since stock actually does not exist in reality.

2. Or else optionally I will setup all products with 9999 quanitity, and will give a msg to the customer that he/she can't order more that 9999 at a time. And the quantity actually never gets deducted from the DB and hence always avoiding the alert condition to the user.

In both the cases, I need your help since I am very new to prestashop and dont know where all I might need to do the changes.
So help me by giving a better solution, or tell me what all care I might need to take in order to achieve this.

Thanks in advance,

I am also trying to achieve the same thing, have you managed to find a solution yet? Or does anybody else know how to do this?

I'm trying this:

Backend > Preferences > Products

Allow ordering of out-of-stock product: Yes

Display quantity on product page: No


I still have to check that no alerts appear while ordering...

i think most of the things are taken care with that option.
thank you for pointing out to me this option.
