Utilize Inventory Thresholds
When the Inventory Thresholds feature is turned on, Chipply will manage what product sizes and colors are offered to the customer's automatically based on the product's inventory. If a product's inventory falls below your "Tolerance Threshold" then that specific size/color will not be offered to the customer. These "Tolerance levels" can be managed and updated by you. You also have the flexibility to have different "Tolerance levels" per vendor. The product's offerings will also update as the product's inventory updates. Meaning, if a product's inventory is below the threshold one day on the store and the next time inventory updates to be above the threshold, then the product's specific size/color will now be offered to the customer, without you having to do anything.
