I am really struggling to find out why I cannot get the “Out of Stock” state on my product page to occur. I have my inventory set to 0 on my items. When I click to “Add to Cart” it shows the error message.
I have became very frustrated as this seems like a simple condition to occur when a product reaches an inventory of 0.
There is currently some work being done with the Out of Stock messages and those may not be showing correctly on the published site.
The inventory tracking should still be working in terms of actually blocking any cart update actions (trying to add items to the cart) that would exceed the available inventory, however — so at least customers are still being appropriately blocked from purchasing items that are out of stock.
It is just that the error message is the only mechanism that communicates this in published sites, and the out-of-stock state isn’t being displayed as designers would expect based on the workflows in the Designer.
Our team is helping to get this resolved in the ecommerce beta so that those show correctly.
The moment and update is pushed out I will notify you immediately. Let me know if any questions, I will be here to help further.
Thanks for reaching back out with additional details. I’m passing this information along to the team. This is an issue that we’re currently working to roll out a fix for. I don’t have a timeline yet, but as soon as we know something we’ll post here and make sure you know!
