eCart and Inventory

Hi,

So many times I saw the question does eCart (version 5 for that matter) have inventory control. I saw many times that the answer was that it has to be done by adding code in order to achieve that. I use the WebAssist ecommerce database. Can there be a step by step guide on how to create inventory control with eCart? To be more precise, a general step by step guide on how (coding it) to have inventory control with eCart when using the ecommerce database provided by WebAssist?

This will really help many users including myself.

Thank you.

I will forward your suggestion to the documentation team.

The exact steps for inventory control will change based on the gateway used.

The general gist is to add code after the transaction is passed to gateway that will loop through the cart and for each line item in the cart, perform an updated using the cart ID column to tell what record to update and the quantity column as the inventory subtraction amount.
