Additional feature….

    I really like the simplicity of this plugin and it has got me out of a bind BUT I think it could help others, as well as myself, if it could play to the following scenario…

    I purchase stock in the US and ship to the UK. As stock is purchased it is loaded to the website but not placed in stock. It appears out of stock to customers BUT they can now put an email notification on the item. Once shipped to the UK a week later stock is then updated against the existing product and the email notifications go out to those interested in buying. Work well but it doesn’t look slick to the user. with this plugin as I enter the stock I set the coming soon option (I renamed it ‘in transit’) as I load inventory. User can now differentiate between what is coming down the pipeline opposed to true out of stock items.

    To enhance the plugin though it would be great if I could add a stock volume as I load the inventory onto the site (still setting in transit though). User could see that x items are on the way but not yet be able to add anything to the cart and still be able to use the wishlist option on the product page. then when stock arrives in the UK all we have to do is de-select the ‘in transit’ button and the pre entered stock volume goes live.

    Would love your thoughts

    @stuartiwoodheadgmailcom thank you for the valuable suggestion, please confirm if you want to synchronize this button with the stock availability? And button should display the text/msg according to the stock status. Like this customers will see the progress, once you will deselect the coming soon, it will be available for sale.

    What I could understand is, binding this button with the stock status. Please explain a little again if I am missing something.

    @fahadmahmood Yes I would like to be able to enter the stock (that is in transit) so the user can maybe see that as part of the message i.e. ‘In Transit 2 Units’. The 2 units should not be able to be ordered at this stage though. When the items arrive in the UK then our stock person just needs to uncheck the ‘in transit’ button and the 2 units go live for sale (removes a step for them as they now don’t have to enter a stock volume on receipt). Users must still be able to use the wishlist / notify me options they have on zero stock items. Hope that helps and thanks for taking time to follow up.
