It's something that I would like to see for the next year, once we finish our big overhaul of the checkout system. Maybe we'll do it at the same time, but I can't promise it.

It isn't a showstopper - they are still HikaShop users - but informing customers of backordered items causes them a lot of client communication outside of the website, extra phone calls and other hassles. (They do not want to limit inventory availability on the frontend, and accept all orders regardless of stock. Backordered items are only a small proportion of their catalog at any time.) --- ~ Deb Cinkus, CEO Polished Geek: more with monday․com eCommerce Business Process Automation Experts Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzg3OTY5NS1oYW5kbGluZy1vZi1iYWNrLW9yZGVyZWQtcHJvZHVjdHM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[vanboke](/forum/user/4873-vanboke "View vanboke's Profile")** - [![vanboke's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/4873-vanboke "View vanboke's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/4873-vanboke) Less More - Posts: 157 - Thank you received: 8 - - 11 years 2 weeks ago [\#216760](#216760) by [vanboke](/forum/user/4873-vanboke "View vanboke's Profile") Replied by *[vanboke](/forum/user/4873-vanboke "View vanboke's Profile")* on topic *[Handling of Back Ordered products](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/879695-handling-of-back-ordered-products#216760 "I know in years past the handling of back ordered products was discussed, and you folks said it was on your long list but you didn't know when it would be implemented.

I hope that it does indeed make it into HikaShop this next year, as I am certain more people would use back order functionality than just us. I also am looking forward to your overhaul of the checkout system. That is also long needed.

I want to display back ordered or special ordered, and also want to accept some deposit on the order of 50% or so.

And I've seen some 'solutions' where people added 100 or 1000 items in order not to run below zero stock.. Or use mass actions to set the product stock to 'unlimited' when zero is reached. Would it not be a lot simpler to let the stock go below zero? That way, when the shop owner re-orders from the supplier, he just adds the newly received quantity and all is fine. Nicolas, any idea when you will have time for backorders?
