In the quest of actually replacing OpenCart, PrestaShop and others, we need one more rather small but important quality of life improvement:
the viewing of products that are low on stock.
The idea behind this is that some sellers will have a lot of products for sale, and sometimes they will forget to check their available stocks. When this happens, they will miss out on sales, by not keeping their stocks up to date (it happened to me).
This can be easily fixed, by adding a checkbox in the seller
Products mng. area, so when a seller searches for products with it checked, the query will return items that have a stock which is
<= 3.
Example:- Vendor has 40 listed products for sale.
- From these products, 3 of them are named iPhone (iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13).
- 2 of these 3, have low stock (iPhone 12 - 3x, iPhone 13 - 0x)
- When a seller searches for iPhone keyword with low stock checked, the query will return only iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.
- If the query is empty, then the search will return all products that have low stocks.
Now imagine not having this feature.
The seller would have to periodically go through all his 40 listed products, to see which one is low on stock. Horror!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Also, one more small improvement would be to update the name of the
Orders section, when the user is enabled as Seller, to:
Orders & Sales.
This would provide more clarity for sellers, in the way that they will know where the Sales/Products area is.
Logic:- Check is the user is enabled as a seller.
- If true, update the text from Orders to Orders & Sales.
Thanks!
