Re: Products Expected set up problem

If you are meaning a category for Products Expected like New Products I have not seen this...

If you mean entering a product now that is expected at some later date then this is one of the first fields in the product setup screen.

Re: Products Expected set up problem

The second one is a field in the product setup page I think the 2nd or 3rd from the top. Title something like 'expected date'.

This does not allow the product to be displayed only entered before you actually get it.

To have it displayed, one needs a function called pre-sell, and I have not found one yet but am still looking. I only wish I could code as then I would write my own.

Re: Products Expected set up problem

What I have done and it seems to work well, is add the product as in stock, choose the arrival date and quantity...this allows the customer to put it in the cart, pay, etc. I did modify the product page file to post the "this item is expected in stock" statement at the top of the page larger and in color so the customer won't miss it. You can see an example HERE
