How to make 2 products share stock quantities

[craigplant]

Hello.

 

I am making a shop which sells products and also services to repair electronics.

The shop will sell the products on their own as well as using the products for repairing customer items.

 

so for example :

 

 

Product :  Usb port for a phone  £2                 5 in stock

service  :  Usb port fitted to a phone £10        (need this to show the same stock level as the above)

 

 

so if someone buys a usb port it needs to also reduce the quantity of the fitting service to avoid selling a service that i do not have the stock for.

 

Hopefully this makes scene. i have tried combinations but they have separate quantities.

Anyone have any ideas?

 

the only work around i can see is to split the stock between the 2 products which ideally isn't how i want it

To everyone sending me messages. I never found an answer to this other then to change over from prestashop to abanre cart which is a great shame as the support there is non existant however it has the options I needed.

i have the same problem, cant find a module to buy, or a work around to make multiple products share same stock

example: we engrave products, and this is common issue all over the world.

we have white cups with many hundreds of designs, but certain amount of cups we can use to engrave designs. 

so the stock should be the same for all white cups we have.(so the website have 300 designs but only 10 units of white cups. how to handle stock on website?)

PLEASE HELP.

Can you do this setting it up as a pack of products, the design would be one product, and the white cup a separate product. You can reduce the items in the pack when the pack is purchased.

tell me how to set up this what you offer, if it will be separate choice for customer to ad to the cart cup and then the design, this will confuse our customers and make it harder to order,

if it will be one product, bus as you say it will be a pack, how the order would look like and how to  set up things?,

the whit cup was only example.

this is the link of our site what i mean.

the problem with this setup is, we dont handle the stock that way. for the future we need that.

try setting up the white cup as a product. Then set up the design as a product pack of the design and the white cup, setting the products to decrease when ordered.

customers just order the design 'pack' as a single item. The stock of the white cup will be reduced as well.

Design A will have the white cup in it's pack, Design B will have the white cup in it's pack etc etc, so the qty of white cup will be reduced with every order.
