Product store without inventory management

[jcargilo]

Hi all,

New to Bagisto, loving it so far (and it has so much activity!). Been working on migrating an older storefront to use Bagisto which has been a challenge, but I'm down to pulling in order history so I'm getting close.

Couple questions today:

1. My client's products are all custom manufactured. As a result, there's no need to track inventory as they're doing that at a raw material level (offline) rather than at the product level. I imported all the products over as "Simple" products which works for the most part, however, I'm running into an issue where the store requires stock to add to the cart. Is there a type I should be using instead or is there a way I can disable the inventory functionality entirely?

2. Are there any recently updated docs regarding the product types? Some of the features in Bagisto are self-explanatory, while others could benefit from a quick explanation & example.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Vaishali-Agarwal,

Thank you for the quick response!

Yes, if you can assist me with disabling the inventory system, that'd be most appreciated.

Also, thank you for the articles. I'll review them both in detail to educate myself more on those types. I am currently watching all of the commits and updating weekly, so I've got the latest build as of this morning.

Any update on how to disable the inventory system? I am customising pretty heavily the front-end so I can avoid adding in the field to display it, but wondering if there is a cleaner way to disable it entirely (including the quantity fields in the back end).

Hi @porl
this will cause the issue to disable the inventory system but you may hide the fields of the inventory system locate to this file https://github.com/bagisto/bagisto/blob/master/packages/Webkul/Admin/src/Resources/views/catalog/products/accordians/inventories.blade.php
