This article explains how the display of stock availability on your website can be controlled.
 | PLEASE NOTE: This article is only applicable to users who have a Catalyst Platinum O+ E-commerce Store.

More Information
Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options Platinum O and Catalyst FindIt".
- Click " Online Control Panel".
- Click Manage " Store".
- Find the " Manage Account Levels" section.
Use the "Account Level" drop-down box to select the level of account you want to view or amend (see How do I Set Up Account Levels on my Website?) and then choose one of the following options:
- "Hide all stock levels": Stock availability will not be displayed in the online store.
- "Hide zero stock levels": Stock quantity available will be calculated as quantity in stock minus quantity on pending sales orders. If this is zero (or below) then stock availability will not be displayed, otherwise the store will display for example '3 in stock'.
- "Show all stock levels": Stock quantity available will be calculated as quantity in stock minus quantity on pending sales orders, and will be displayed as, for example '3 in stock' or '0 in stock'.
- "Show result of stock formula": (If you have the Web Daemon): A Stock Formula in Platinum will be calculated and its result displayed. This allows you to customise what is displayed to your liking. To use a stock formula, create it in Platinum and then enter its code here:
- Go to " Stock Control Reordering Add or Edit Formulae Formula Amendments".
- Enter a new "Formula Code", for example 'WEB1'.
- Enter a "Formula Description", for example 'Web Availability'.
- Enter a formula that results in the text to display on your store, for example:
IF S-A-Q1 >= 0 THEN "In stock" ELSE "Call for availability"
This means:
- S
- is the current quantity in stock,
- A
- is the quantity on pending sales orders,
- Q1
- is the quantity the online buyer has in their basket (or 1 if they have not added it to their basket yet).
