Stock control with ekmPowershop
This guide will show you how to setup stock control once you have logged into your ekmPowershop account.
To access the Stock Control area you will need to log into your ekmPowershop account, then click on settings > stock control >
You will be presented with the following screen.
To activate stock control simply click onto the dot next to active as currently show in the screen shot above.
In this next stage we will show you the different actions which can be used.
The options are.
Display message and Allow purchase.
Using this option will display the Out of Stock Message as seen in the above screen shot. A customer will be told that the item is out of stock but will also be able to still order it going through the checkout process.
Display Message and Disallow Purchase.
Using this option will display the message which you have typed into the Out of Stock Message as seen in the above screen shot. A customer will be told that the item is out of stock and will not be able to buy it.
Remove Product from display.
Using this option will simply remove the product out sight to your customers once they are out of stock. (please note you will be able to view the products that are out of stock if you are logged in your account)
The next stock control option is the "Out of Stock Message" element. What you enter within this field will display against that item when the stock level has reached zero.
The final option within this page is the "Low Stock Levels" prompt. The numeric value you set within the drop down box will be the trigger value for when your ekmPowershop sends you a notification email to advise the stock is running low.
A further element to this page as you can see in the screen shot above, is the "Stock Control Manager" tab. This area allows you to bulk change certain parameters of your products, such as prices, stock levels, delivery charges etc. For a more in depth guide on this, please click here.
Now that you have set your stock control options, you now need to give stock value to your products.
To do this you will need to view your site in edit mode and go to a product which you want to give a stock. Once you see the product you wish to give a stock value simply click the edit button.
You will then be presented with the following screen
As the screen shot shows you can give it a stock value. Once you have set your stock click the update button.
All that is left to do is to do this for all the products which you have added to your online shop.
It is also possible to set stock levels for variations of the product, using the "Product Variant" element within the product editing page as referenced above. A full tutorial on this can be found by viewing the "Product Variant" support guide.
You can also if you wish bulk upload your stock by using our Import and Export feature.
