counts and notify customers:

When your inventory stock gets low
or runs out, the shopping cart has several different options
to edit what the customer sees.  This is a good to notify
customers of inventory availability.

still keep track of the amount of stock for each item, but the
customer will not see a difference regardless of the amount of
inventory in stock.


Transparent 

The customers won’t know anything about stock, but the
administrator of the shop will still be emailed when stock is
low.

Visible

in stock and display a custom message, This option does ALLOW
them to order, and the administrator also receives an email.

in stock , and then the shopping cart gives a custom message.
It DOES NOT PERMIT THEM TO BUY the out-of-stock product. The
administrator does receive an email. 


Restricted Hidden 

This option does not show out of stock items to customers, and
the administrator does receive an email.

This message is the custom
message that customers will see depending on the inventory
control option selected.

Show Inventory
Counts to Shoppers

This allows you to show
customers the inventory count. One nice feature is to show the
customer only when it is below a certain amount. Some shop
administrators use this to create a sense of urgency on the
part of the customer. Other shop administrators prefer to keep
their inventory counts hidden.
