Deplete Quantity when Payment is Confirmed

Hi there,

I was wondering if there's a way to change the way product quantities are reduced. I'm hoping that instead of when an order is "created," it could deplete when the order is "confirmed." I understand the order has to be created before payment is confirmed, but I'm more concerned about my client seeing inaccurate quantities of their products.

Is there any way you could help?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

The problem is that if for example the shop owner accepts bank transfer, you want to lock the quantity when the order is created, not when it is confirmed. Otherwise, you might sell stuff that you actually don't have on your end.

The solution is to cancel the order if the users don't pay for it after a while. That will restore the quantity. A plugin to do that automatically should not be too difficult to build actually.

Hi there,

Thanks for your response. I understand your point about the bank transfer, but unfortunately, I don't believe my client would ever use a bank transfer.

Also, I don't know how to build plugins. Is this something that is on your development schedule as an update to HikaShop, or something you could complete for me with payment?

Thanks

It's on our near future schedule.
