Adding new inventory
When you add new inventory, you can either add inventory
for a single service variation - when there are no linked option values
for multiple service variations - when there are linked option values
If your service does not have linked option values, then only one variant is available to be added. All quantities entered as part of configuring the Product Seller form apply to that single variant.
If your service does have linked option values, the values you select will be added once the Seller Product form has been completed. The Seller Product form applies quantities entered to any variations added.
Configuring the Seller Product form, Initial setup tab
Navigate to the Seller dashboard. From the LH menu, select Shop>Shop Inventory.
Click on the
button to open the list of all your added products.For the product you want to add inventory for your shop, click on the
icon alongside the product listing.
This field will already be pre-populated from when you added the product, but you can change it if you want.
Tip: You can set a date when the product is available using the Date Available field e.g. you don't have anyone to provide the service until next month.
Checkout type
There are three options for how you want to display the price of your service on the front end of your shop:
RFQ (Request for Quote) and cart - buyers can request a quote from you and they can see the price on the front end of the shop for a buy now option.
Cart only - buyers can only see the price on the front end of the shop. Buy now is the only option.
RFQ - buyers have to request a quote to get the price of the item, it is not visible on the front end of the shop and buy now is not an option.
Warning: If RFQ only is selected then POA will display on the shop. However, a numeric value (which does not need to be the price) must still be entered in the selling price field to be able to save and proceed.
When to publish your inventory
Important: Only publish your product inventory when it is ready for buyers to purchase.
If you are configuring your final product inventory settings in this form, and you want the inventory to be visible on the front end of your shop when you "Save Changes", turn the "Publish Inventory" toggle ON (blue).
If you have additional information to add and the product is not ready for buyers to purchase, turn the toggle OFF (grey).
Entering your service price and available quantity
Service with no variations - there will only be one row to configure
Services <20 variations - each option value will have one row each to configure
Services >20 variations - select one variant at a time from the list to configure
[Selling Price] – must be more than the minimum product sale price, unless "RFQ only" is selected for checkout type.
Warning: If RFQ only is selected then POA will display on the shop. However, a numeric value (which does not need to be the price) must still be entered in the selling price field to be able to save and proceed.
Important: Watersorted has been configured to display the selling price in NZ dollars and exclude GST (if sales tax is applicable) on the shop's front end. GST is added at checkout depending on the tax category applied.
This will add the inventory to the Shop Inventory page. If you have turned the "Publish Inventory" toggle ON it will also display the inventory on the front end of your shop.
- delete the information you just added.
