Ability to control inventory for individual digital variations
I tried the inventory management add-on but it didn't show any inventory indicators. I need to manage inventory for a variation (or more) of digital products.
I have a few scenarios:
- Founding member with limited spots (aka the first 20 get it for $X instead of $Z) (Need this figured it out in the next 72 hours... wish me luck)
- Group coaching programs where spots are limited (need this by next week)
- When doing events (retreats, workshops, etc): Super Early Bird vs Early Bird vs General Admission vs Last Minute
- Webinars and other platforms where there are caps on the people attending. (potential client)
Following
You can enable inventory feature from global settings (FluentCart Settings -> Features & Addon -> Stock Management) and then you can see the inventory settings in the product edit screen.
Shahjahan Jewel It was grayed out for digital products. I could change the stock, but then I also had to manage stock for the other unlimited options. How do you suggest I go about that?
Shahjahan Jewel Where is the unlimited stock option?
How do we let people know how many spots are left? (That's what I meant by inventory indicators aka "16 left").
Also, how do we change it from "In Stock"? That doesn't make sense for a digital service (ok for a product but not a service).
Founding member with limited spots (First 20 get it for $X instead of $Z)
Answer:
There is no threshold-based pricing and inventory available at the moment.
Group coaching programs where spots are limited (Need this by next week)
Answer:
You can define seat numbers directly in the inventory section for the specific variation. Once the seats are filled, that variation will no longer be available.
Events (retreats, workshops, etc.) (Super Early Bird, Early Bird, General Admission, Last Minute)
Answer:
You can manage buyers using tags in FluentCRM to organize and segment attendees for different ticket types.
Webinars and other platforms with attendance caps (Potential client)
Answer:
If by caps you mean limited seats, then you can simply define the seat number in the inventory for that variation.
Ripon Sarkar How should we handle the unlimited options?
Super Early Bird would be like 10 spots, Early Bird like 20, etc. Ideally they would be date driven and you could set pricing level availability with dates. Using coupon codes kind of works, but in my experience, people forget to apply them (although do you now have a way to pass the coupon code in the url?). I ran an early bird special recently for a program and over 40% forgot to put in the code for the early bird discount.
I understand segmenting with Fluent CRM... I'm talking specifically about organizing the pricing levels in Fluent Cart.
Ripon Sarkar PS Thanks for your quick response. You, too Shahjahan Jewel
Despite the little issues I come across, I love Fluent products.
