ZenCart Simple Attributes Stock Tracking
I developed a quantity by attribute modification for ZenCart for a client about six months ago. It has been working very well for them, but it only supports simple attributes. Size OR color OR fabric not size AND color or size AND fabric. The complexity and time involved with maintaining such a detailed inventory of their 1,000’s of products steered us both away from that. Instead they were able to make intelligent choices on which attribute to track for a given type of product so that their inventories are very close without the added complexity.
An example:
http://www.pimpcostumes.com/…/Hos-Sexy-Shoes/Sexy-Heels-Orbit-Red/643,139
The size select box should have some items that show as low stock.
Thanks to another client who needed a similar modification, I was able to more generalize the mod more and roll it into a contribution for ZenCart.
