In-store only products.

Hi!

Would just like to know if there was an easy way to keep track of stock that's strictly in-store only purchasesable, however still being list-able on the website.

For example, we want to be able to list Bike's online and let customers know if a particular item is in-stock or out-of-stock in retail stores. However we don't want to be able to sell bikes at all online. What we have currently is just using misc fields and checking against that. Just wondering if there is a more elegant solution.

Any help greatly appreciated,

John

You could look at making a new product template that doesn't have the add to cart button on it, and then assign the template to your bikes.

You could add intelligence directly to the product template, depending on how you want to differentiate those products (by category, brand, or something else). It's not trivial though, you'll definitely need a developer. If you have misc fields working successfully now, I'd stick with that. They are simple to work with as imports. If you need to check all your bikes are set up right, just export them all along with the misc field. You can fix any in a bulk import. Not as elegant as a totally custom template, but it's flexible and easy.
