    Not sure that it will work and its expensive to find out it does not.. If there was a 14 trail then yes would be happy to test it out..

    1: Can you have stock availability for each payment option:

    2: Will it then deduct from the main stock count of the product regardless of payment selected i.e. Main product has stock of 10 : “Deposit” takes of 1 stock “Monthly” Takes of another 1 stock.

    3: Could you share stock between a subset of variations”?

    3: We would need to hook it all again, to make changes on text : EG: change “Deposit” to Advance payment etc..

    Hi Mike.

    Thanks so much for the speedy reply!

    Yes thats exactly what we have to do but its a real mess and makes it quite confusing for students.

    It also makes some pages really long for no reason apart from the restrictions with woo / not being able to share stock between a subset of variations.

    EG:

    https://www.midischool.com/aaa-dj-course-may-2016/

    This page (demo) could have 2 course start dates see “Course with 2 start dates” section

    This is just about ok (still over kill)

    But courses with more start dates:

    EG: Same page but “Course with 4 start dates” section is way to long, we even have some courses with 12 start dates and you can see what that looks likes! in the last section..

    All this could be tidy if , as you say “you could share stock between a subset of variations”?
    Its a setting that is crying out for..

    Sorry it snot that clear, no they are not worth’ more than 1 level of stock.

    Ill try again:

    We sell course places and use Woo commerce variable products.

    This is an example of a working product: with only One course start date.

    https://www.midischool.com/course/dj-course-wednesdays/

    You will see regardless of which payment option you select the stock is the same and regardless of which payment option is sold “both payment options will reduce to the same amount as we only have X amount of places available.

    We need to control stock levels so that it shows how many places are available on a start date, which works fine if we only have One start date.

    This is how we do it and it works fine by using “Enable stock management at product level (ticked)”

    Product Data: Variable product

    Inventory: Enable stock management at product level (ticked)

    Stock Qty: EG: 10

    Sold individually: Enable this to only allow one of this item to be bought in a single order (ticked)

    Next we set up the Attributes:

    Attribute 1 Name: Start Date: Values: Wednesday 9th September 2015

    Used for variation is ticked.

    Attribute 2: Name: Payment: Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now | Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now

    Used for variation is ticked.

    We then save Attribute.

    NEXT variations:

    We set up Two price variations:

    So this works fine as there is only One date and it does not matter how many price variations we set up, the total stock is per the amount we put in the inventory: “Enable stock management at product level (ticked)

    Stock Qty: EG: 10”

    So when customer buys a course place at any of the course prices which is set in the “Attribute 2: Name: Payment: Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now OR | Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now”

    The stock level will reduce as it should:

    EG: Customer 1 buys: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now

    The stock level then shows as 9 on the front end when the page is refreshed (we had 10 in stock to start with)

    This is also the same if another customer comes along and chooses Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now”

    The stock level then shows as 8 on the front end when the page is refreshed (we had 9 in stock to start with)

    So this as said works perfectly and allows us to show the availability of real time course places available.

    Now the issue we have is that we need to have more than one start date as an option so.

    We set Attribute 1 Name: Start Date: to have 2 start date choices EG: Values: Wednesday 9th September 2015 | Tuesday 10th November 2015

    But this is a problem because if a customer chooses one of the start dates and then one of the Attributes.

    EG: Attribute 1: Start Date: Wednesday 9th September 2015 and then

    Attribute 2: Name: Payment: Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now | OR Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now”

    Big problem: It deducts the stock level from both start dates as in essence its coming from One variable product and then on the front it looks like we have less course places than we do.

    Regardless of which start date they select or payment option they choose the stock is deducted from both start dates.

    So that does not work so we tried this:

    NEXT:

    We have tried to then manage stock at variation level and not product level EG: : Enable stock management at product level (NOT TICKED)

    Select manage stock in a variation and set a stock level.

    EG:

    Variation 1: Start Date: Wednesday 9th September 2015 Price Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10 | OR Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now” .manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10

    Variation 2: Start Date: Tuesday 10th November 2015 Price Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10 | OR Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now” .manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10

    But if a customer buys a course places from Variation 1: Start Date: Wednesday 9th September 2015 Price Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now . manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10

    This is reduced to 9 places but when the page is refreshed both the Price Values: Option One: Pay full course fees of £725 now manage stock ticked, stock Qty 10 | OR Option Two: Pay reg fee of £245 now” stock Qty 10 does not reduce across both the price values so it looks like a new customer we have a course with different amounts of stock depending on the price they select.

    What we need it to do is combine the total amount of course places available (stock) regardless of what price a course place has been sold in the past.

    The only way we can achieve this is to make a page with course dates on and make each course date on that page a link to its own variable product with that date on it pre filled and then they select the course payment option. This then allows us to set the stock level at product level.

    Its just a waste having this extra step and them go to a page to select a course date then onto the product, surly there is a way to combine the total amount of course (products) places available for variable products?

    I simply want to have multiple start dates for a customer to select one of and multiple payment options to choose from and it reduce the stock level available on the front end for the course they have chosen regardless of the payment option they selected.

    Again by using “manage stock in a variation level” and set a stock level it only reduces the stock for the variation they selected and not the combined level of stock for the product.

    It also makes it look like we have EG: 10 places at each price available but we don’t we only have 10 places in total/

    Great plug in and is working , however i would need to take it a step further (I’m no developer just an end users)

    We have 1 variable product that has 2 different variations.
    EG:
    A gig starts:

    Monday
    Tuesday
    Wednesday

    You chose the day, then next variation you choose the payment option,
    Weekly
    Monthly
    Single payment

    The plugin allows control over stock when set in inventory (great!) however only if you have one variation

    EG: Monday has 50 places available and when the user selects EG: Weekly or Monthly or
    Single payment it does as it should (which is great) it reduces the overall stock from 50 down to 49 and etc.. But the issue is it also deducts Tuesdays stock down.

    How can it be does so that Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday all have their own stock levels that are reduced from 50? Depending on which payment option they choose.? But without effected the other days stock..

    Yes i have the same issue, here is a breakdown of my issues- would be interested if you have the same.

    1: Post comment on site, shows on Facebook – does not show on site unless refreshed.

    1: If i delete the comment on Facebook it does not delete from site.

    3: If i delete the comment from site it says “ooops something went wrong”

    4: I have tried this a few times on a post and now it says there are 7 post there when in fact there are none and i cant remove this from the page.

    Hi.

    I would also like to know if it is possible to have a user be sent to a wordpres page i create, as i want to use it in away that the once the sure has passed the quiz they have access to that page but the page is locked until they have passed the quiz.

    Can your plug in do this?
