SOLVED: stock/quantity is updated when adding product to cart

[BlackEdition]

Hi,

I noticed in PrestaShop 1.7.5.0 the stock or quantity for the product is updated right after someone adds the product to the cart and there's no way to configure how this works in the backoffice!

This is a very bad idea and not a good move to run a business. Because someone might add all the quantity available in the store but they are not serious about completing the order, so they will just ruin it for all other customers because it will say out of stock, or maybe they're not in a hurry and are planning to buy in a couple of days.

This will make me lose a lot of sales from other potential buyers!

I tried to google this but all I found was people wanting the other way around, which is what's happening right now in the newer PS versions so im guessing the PS team changed that in the last updates.

Im ok with buying a module that can manage stock in a better way with more flexibility, any suggestions? I couldn't find anything.

Ok my bad, it appears to be working correctly but I didn't test it the right way.

I was testing this with the same account which results in updating the quantity only for my account and saying I can't add anymore, so it's not actually updating it for everyone.

I tested it now with 2 different accounts and it is working as it should be. I added the last quantity in 2 different carts/accounts and if one of them checkout and place the order first, then the other user can't proceed and will get an error message saying the quantity is not enough.

This is great! I don't remember it being this way before in PS 1.7.

Hello,

I have also noticed this feature as you
My problem is that I have a lot of product with only 1 unit in stock. So when customer add product in cart it display Out of stock on the product page.
So the customer is confused and didn't know if the product is in stock or not..

Any idea about it ?

Thanks

Hi,
You have to add custom code to check if the product is in the customer cart and then display "Last one in your cart"

Hi @WebDesign-Entreprise. 

Could you please be more specific, what code should I put where?

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Here is the code:

						{assign var="inCart" value=false}
					  	{foreach from=$cart.products item=cartproduct}
					    	{if $cartproduct.id_product == $product.id_product}
					         {assign var="inCart" value=true}
					   		{/if}
					 	 {/foreach}
					 	 
					 	 
						{if $inCart == true}
						   <i class="material-icons product-last-items">&#xE002;</i>
						 	Vous avez le dernier dans votre panier !
						{else}
							<i class="material-icons product-unavailable">&#xE14B;</i>
						 	{$product.availability_message}
						{/if}

You can add it in any tpl file in your theme.
For me : themes/yourtheme/templates/catalog/_partials/product-add-to-cart.tpl

Hi.

Thank you so much. This works perfectly! I have even added another condition, because the message was showing even with products that are more than 1 piece in stock.

{if $inCart == true && $product.quantity < 2}

Now it works only with products that have ONLY last 1 piece in stock.

Thank you very much again!

Wishing the best.

@WebDesign-Entreprise one last thing. I realised that the condition for quantity works also for 0 and less. Do you have an idea how to set it only if quantity is 1?

I have tried  {if $inCart == true && $product.quantity == 1}, but for some reason it is not working.

 

Thanks a lot!

Ok, I think I have solved it. Thing is that it should be ZERO, not ONE. Like this {if $inCart == true && $product.quantity == 0}.

I think logic behind this is that since the quantity is calculated after the item is put to the cart, there will be never quantity 1. When you put it into the cart, the actual quantity is 0. With this code it is showing properly.

Cheers!

It's working here in my PS 8.1.5, but the message isn't updating automatically. I need to refresh the page to see "the last item is in your basket". 

How can I make it to change automatically??

Hi,

Your code works for me, but how do you check the product combination that is currently in the cart? Because my message "last item in cart" displays even if I select an other combination of the product that is NOT in the cart.

Thanks!

You can change the test in the foreach loop by

{if ($cartproduct.id_product == $product.id_product) && ($cartproduct.id_product_attribute == $product.id_product_attribute)}

Thanks
