Setting Up Product Inventory in Advisor's Growth
Effectively managing your product inventory is crucial for any e-commerce store. By setting inventory limits, you can control stock levels, avoid overselling, and ensure customer expectations are met. This guide will walk you through how to set up inventory limits, whether you're working with e-commerce stores or order forms in Advisor's Growth.
How to Set Inventory Limits
Step 1: Setting Up Inventory Limits in Funnels
Navigate to Funnels: Go to the 'Sites' section and select 'Funnels' where you're selling the product.
Attach Product to Funnel: Select the funnel and go to the product section. Attach the product if it's not already linked.
Edit Product Details: Click on the three dots next to the product, then select "Edit."
Set Maximum Units per Order: Scroll down to the "Additional Options" and set the desired maximum units per order (e.g., 10 units).
Save Changes: Ensure the changes are saved so the inventory limits are applied.
Step 2: Managing Inventory in Your E-commerce Store
Access Product Settings: Navigate to 'Payments' and select "Products."
Track Inventory: Choose the product you want to manage, then check the "Track Inventory" option. Enter the available quantity.
Set Availability: Choose whether to allow sales even when the stock runs out. Uncheck the option if you want to stop sales when stock is depleted.
Save and Update: Save your settings to apply inventory rules.
Adding Product Details (Weight, Dimensions, SKU)
You can add detailed information like product weight, dimensions, and SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) to better manage inventory and prepare for future shipping integrations. Here's how:
Navigate to Payments > Products > Create Product.
In the pricing/variant section, add all necessary information, including product details for each variant.
Optimizing Product SEO for Better Visibility
Store owners can enhance the searchability of their products by adding SEO metadata. This helps improve search engine rankings, leading to more visibility and sales.
Navigate to Product SEO Settings: Go to 'Payments' and select 'Products.' Create a new product or edit an existing one.
Configure SEO Information: In the variants category, fill in the SEO title, description, and custom slug fields. Make sure the featured image is selected, as it will be used for SEO previews.
Save Changes: Once you've entered the SEO information, save your settings.
Demonstration of Inventory Limits in Action
Product Display: Customers will see the available stock when they view the product. If they attempt to order more than the available quantity, they'll receive a notification of the limit.
Purchasing Process: If stock is sufficient, the order proceeds as normal. If stock runs out, the product will either appear as unavailable or continue to be sold based on your settings.
