Overview

Managing product variant availability helps you:

  • Accurately reflect your current inventory status
  • Prevent overselling
  • Maintain customer trust with precise stock information
  • Optimize your inventory management

Accessing Variant Availability Settings

  1. Navigate to Products in your admin dashboard
  2. Select the product you want to manage
  3. Click the Availability tab
  4. Choose Connect to Inventory to link variants with your inventory

Set Inventory Levels for Each Variant

  1. All the variants you created appear under the "Inventory" section
  2. Choose the SKU the variant is connected to in your inventory.
  3. Or create a new SKU. Then, define how many items of that specific variant you have in stock, set the SKU code, and choose whether you want to track items individually and generate article IDs automatically.

Managing Availability Status

If you opted to track each item individually (i.e., each article has a unique article ID), these variants can have one of these statuses:

  • In Use: The item is available for bookings or purchase
  • Out of Use: The article is taken from the active fleet and is unavailable for bookings or purchase. For example, when the item is going through maintenance.
  • Lost: The item's location is unknown
  • Sold: The item has been sold

To change a variant's status:

  1. Go to "Inventory" and find the article whose status you want to edit.
  2. Open the article view and choose the desired status from the dropdown menu
  3. Click "Save"

If you encounter issues managing variant availability, contact our customer support via the in-app chat.
