Details & Setup
When a customer needs to prevent overselling by reserving stock on a custom-built store.
Description
Reserved Stock Pro, our plugin, improves the shopping experience by providing stores with limited, high-demand inventory a seamless checkout flow for their customers.
- 1,000 people come to your product page, when you have 10 items in stock.
- Everyone tries to add the product to their cart.
- Reserved Stock Pro correctly ensures the first 10 customers secure the product in their cart for a limited amount of time.
- Everyone else will be able to see “All 10 items are reserved”.
- The 10 customers can fill out the checkout without stress, even purchase additional products within the time.
The ideal shooting experience for customers is the one which encourages higher order values, and continued shopping. Reserved Stock Pro does just that.
? What’s the standard experience?
By default WooCommerce provides a race to finish the checkout payment. All 1,000 people would believe they are purchasing the items, only to end up disappointed. There’s also a possibility of over-selling (negative stock).
Ready for large traffic WooCommerce stores
We’ve battle-tested Reserved Stock Pro with multiple high traffic sites. The plugin code has minimal impact on performance, and optimized for object caching using Redis.
- Custom database table for maximum performance.
- Smart cart expiration and removal of products.
- Native use of WooCommerce action & filter hooks
- Reservations are calculated separately from our own database, meaning the product stock (metadata) is not overridden or changed.
We’ve put a lot of care into documenting the inner workings of Reserved Stock Pro, for those who need to know exactly what happens in the background.
? Prevent negative stock & deliver customer expectations
You’ll no longer have to worry about over-selling, or disappointed customers who missed out on products during your flash sales.
