Brief Introduction #
Having a handy inventory tool is always beneficial, especially when you have multiple orders and tight schedules to follow. To ease this worry MultiVendorX brings its tried and tested inventory management solution. This tool tracks your stock quantities, sends automatic stock updates across all selling channels, sends you alert emails in case of low quantities, and lets your customers subscribe to products even when they are out of stock.
Requirement #
Configure MultiVendorX Store Inventory #
To configure store management inventory, you need to enable the module. Follow the given steps to enable store inventory management.
- Go to the admin dashboard and select the MultiVendorX menu, from there navigate to the Module option available in the MultiVendorX menu list.
- Search for a module called the Store Inventory available under the Marketplace Boosters Section.Â
- Toggle the Enable option to let vendors track their stocks and receive alert notifications whenever they run low.
Store Analytics Setting #
The configuration of store inventory can be completed with minimum effort and minimum time. All you need to do is select the Setting button that appears as soon as the module is enabled. And simply navigate to Store Configuration >> Store Inventory
- On the Setting page, there are only two things you need to configure namely –
- Low Stock Alert – By enabling the low stock alert option, all vendors in your marketplace would receive a stock alert warning in the form of an email
- Low Stock Alert Limit – Add a value to set the low stock limit. If the stock drops below the value set by you the vendor will receive an alert prompt.
- Out-of-Stock Alert – When the out-of-stock alert option is enabled, vendors receive a warning mail letting them know that their stock quantities have run out
- Out-of-Stock Limit – Anytime the stock drops below the out-of-stock limit set by you the vendor will receive an alert prompt to re-stock.
Note – The low stock and out-of-stock value set by you is applicable for all vendors. Vendors, however, also have the option to overwrite the stock quantity value set by you.
Manage Store Inventory #
From the store dashboard, vendors can override the low-stock or out-of-stock amount set by the admin. To override the stock quantities set by the admin vendors can –Â
- Go to the vendor dashboard and navigate to Settings. Under the store settings list, vendors can select the Inventory Settings option.
Here they can set Default low stock threshold and Default out of stock threshold.
They can also enable the Notify me when a product falls below its low stock threshold option to get emails regrading the stock management
Manage Out-of-Stock Products #
Vendors can now manage products that have gone out of stock by simply letting customers subscribe to that product. When customers subscribe for products that have run out of stock, vendors would be able to keep a note of those products. So, once the product is back in stock, customers will receive a mail alerting them of the availability of the product.
With this, we come to the end of our stock alert tutorial. Hopefully using this document your vendor can manage your stocks without any trouble.
