Inventory of products

The inventory of a product represents its available quantity in the store. You can configure the Ecommerce module to track the available quantity and to perform an action after a product has been sold out. For more information, see Inventory.

You can manage the inventory through the following properties of the Product class:

• Inventory
  Gets or sets the available quantity for a product.
• TrackInventory
  Specifies whether the Ecommerce module tracks the inventory and perform an action after a product has been sold out. When tracking the inventory of a product, the For developers: IEcommerceProductInventoryChanged event is fired every time when the quantity of the product changes. The enumeration has the following values:
  • DonotTrack
    Specifies not to 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 this case, the Ecommerce module tracks the values of the inventory properties of the variations of the product. For more information, see For developers: Inventory of variations.
• OutOfStockOption
  Specifies the action that the system performs when a product has been sold. The enumeration has the following values:
  • DisplayAndAllowOrders
    The product is displayed on the frontend and customers can order it.
  • DisplayButDontAllowOrders
    The product is displayed on the frontend, but customers cannot order it.
  • DoNotDisplayTheProduct
    The product is not displayed on the frontend.
