7 years ago Right now viewing inventory for items is very unintuitive, it requires the seller to click "edit" on their listing and scroll down to the inventory management section.
As a vendor, clicking edit or going to an admin section to view and manage inventory seems to be the standard experience across major eCommerce platforms. Is there a reason why this feels very unintuitive in the OpenBazaar experience vs other platforms?
I suggest that we add an overlay onto images in a sellers store that tells them the remaining inventory (only if they have set an inventory number)
I'm not sure I'm following the add an overlay onto images suggestion. Can you provide more detail on what you're thinking? The inventory table can get pretty loaded, especially when accounting for variants and variant choices so we'll need to set aside a lot of real estate to render all of the inventory data.
Also, are you thinking the inventory section would be read-only? Or fully editable too?
and then also sends them a notification when their stock drops to 0, as well as put an "out of stock" overlay on the image.
I like the idea of triggering a notification to inform the vendor when inventory hits 0. Also having some type of badge display on a listing detail view when it's completely out of stock would be helpful.
