Product List Widget: Add limit to available products

  • NicolCorcExpo
    Asked on June 12, 2020 at 1:54 PM

    Hi there!

    I'm working with the Product List widget. I'm wondering if there is a way to set a quantity limit for one (or more) products like the inventory widget. I see that you can set quantity limits per user, but I'm hoping to accomplish a limit across all responses.

    Ex: There are 5 different sponsorship opportunities.

    Sponsorship A: Only 3 are available Sponsorship B: Only 5 are available Sponsorship C,D,E: There are no limits

    Note: I don't want to use the inventory widget or tickets if I don't have to; 1) it would look weird going from the product widget to the inventory/tickets widget. 2) converting the whole form from the product list widget to the inventory would be a pain because of the work that goes into the building the shopping cart type features.

    Thank you, in advance, for your help and insight!

    Hi,

    I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is not possible to set a limit to the number of products in the Product List Widget. You must use either the  Inventory Widget or the Ticket Purchases Widget.

    Please take a look at this guide on how to set them up:

    Thanks @Basil_A!

    Is there a way to request this feature? I can't imagine I'm the only person who would be looking for something like this.

    Thanks!

    Thank you!

    Would it be possible to submit one more request? Would it be possible to be able to make it so that you can format the text in the product descriptions?


    Thanks!

    I would also like to request inventory withing the product list. The product list is great for searchability and product listing but not being able to limit numbers renders it useless to our organisation.

    I am also in need of the inventory limit feature within the Product List widget. The Product List is great for calculating sales tax and generating invoices, but it would be extremely useful to have the quantity of items available update in real time.

    Thanks!

    Your requirement is forwarded to our backend team for evaluation.

    Please keep in mind that there's no assurance whether this will be implemented. It will highly depend on the viability of the feature, the number of similar requests we get, along with the workload of our Developers.

    As soon as we receive an update on this, we will inform you right away.

    I too think that the basic product list needs an inventory limit option!!!  This is a MUCH needed feature in the fantastic product list element that is already there.
