We are thrilled to present a powerful new feature on 123FormBuilder<\/a>: Stock control for the Product field<\/b>. This addition is designed to help you easily manage your inventory, ensuring that your customers only order what you have available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important note<\/b><\/h4>\n
\n The Stock control feature works only with Payments<\/b>, so make sure to enable a payment processor<\/a><\/b> on your form.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to use Stock control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Product<\/b> field side menu, you will notice a new option in the Payments & Calculations<\/b> section titled Stock control<\/b>. Once enabled, you can enter the available stock in the Add stock<\/b> input field that opens below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stock<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can return and update your stock at any given time. The values will always add up to the Currently available in stock <\/b>badge. To remove items from your stock, type the minus symbol followed by the amount you need to subtract from your available stock (e.g. -10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an item already out of stock but still want to list it for visibility on your form, you can do so easily. Enter “0” in the Add Stock <\/b>field for that item. This will allow the item to be displayed on your form with an “Out of Stock” badge, informing customers that it’s currently unavailable without allowing them to add it to their cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Out<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stock control feature is available for products with and without the Quantity selector <\/b>enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Stock is managed and updated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As users submit their orders and<\/b> complete the payment, the system automatically updates the available stock. Here’s exactly how this process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. When a customer submits a form, the specified amount of the selected product is immediately subtracted from your available stock. This temporary deduction ensures that the product is not over-ordered while the customer proceeds with the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. After the form is submitted, the customer is redirected to the payment processor to complete the transaction. However, the stock deduction is only finalized if the payment is successfully completed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
