For developers: Inventory of variations

The inventory of a variation represents its available quantity in the store. You can configure the Ecommerce to track the available quantity and to perform an action after a product variation has depleted. The inventory can be managed through the following properties of the ProductVariation class:

  • Inventory
    Gets or sets the available quantity for a product variation.
  • TrackInventory
    Specifies whether the Ecommerce will track the inventory and perform an action after a product variation has depleted. When tracking the inventory of a product variation, the For developers: IEcommerceProductInventoryChanged event is fired every time when the quantity of the product variation changes. The enumeration has the following values:
    • DonotTrack
      Specifies to not track the inventory for the product.
    • Track
      Specifies to track the inventory of the product.
    • TrackByVariations
      Specifies to track the inventories of the product’s variations.
    In case of configuring the inventory of a variation, you have to use either the DonotTrack or the TrackByVariations value.
  • OutOfStockOption
    Specifies the action that should be taken after a product has depleted. The enumeration has the following values:
    • DisplayAndAllowOrders
      The product will be displayed and further ordering of it will be allowed.
    • DisplayButDontAllowOrders
      The product will be displayed, but further ordering of it won’t be allowed.
    • DoNotDisplayTheProduct
      The product won’t be displayed.
