Item stock and item sold

Hello, there shall be 2 option, not together, because we have cash n carry where most of the sales comes from, and item sold is only online sales, and since we have the new online store, all the items shows zero sales, which customer things, we are very slow business, I think we can turn off and one the sale shown, once we are running the store for more than 6 months, it would be better to turn it on, yet we like to see the stock, so stock shown and item sold should be seperate

Also one more suggestions comes to mine. Since I already talked about below 1. So we have variable items manage and unmanage stock as well as single product manager and unmanaged. If I were developer and if advance stock is selected. So unmanage stock I would make it says. Available : In Stock But still stay consistent with layout. So manage stock should have stock levels and unmanaged stock should say "in stock" Now the question is how to handle the variable items. Variable stock should also say for manage or unmanage Available : in stock. If you want to be very technical then what I explain in my last comment. For manage stock, then shall add all the quantities and sum it up. Same thing then for sold items. Sum it all up That would be really advance stock in my opinion Currently advance stock is here but half baked.

Another thing, Woocommerce has manage stock or unmanage stock, unmanage stock shows item always in stock, but there is in consistancy on the page, when it is no manage, where the avalaible is, it should say "IN STOCK" and also sold is where it is, so layout is consistant, currently in pictures, you see sprite cherry is the only one with manage stock, rest 3 are not, well I dont know what read more means, it shall be same way in all, Avaliable: XXXX for manage stock or Available: in stock for unmanaged or Avialble: not in stock, simple read more means nothing as far as I know, its confusing. also same thing should be in variable items, 5 hour is avaliable, on it should say same way Avaliable: XXXX for manage stock (all combine) because yet, we have 10 flavors, and say 5 of each are avalaible, so 50 units of this is avalible, people will go inside, we have 5 orange, 5 grape, 5 strawberry and so one or Available: "in stock" for unmanaged or Avaliable: not in stock, when not even single variation is avaliable. also should have quickview icon selection as well, smaller icon would be great, it takes half the picture. icon with hover label says quick view, just my though

stock level is good, but this SOLD is double edge sword, it can make the store and break the store, example, if you have 7 thousand items, some are for pickup local customers, heavy items, and not meant for shipping but yet there, and some are for online sales, some say it has been sold in thousands, and some say it hasn't been sold, but in relealty, we sell those in local cash register sales in tons, for exampl windshield washer gallons if the item says ZERO sales, customer may think no one is interested in buying that item, so it will most likely will stay ZERO because of the customer thinking. so advance stock should have 2 parts, stock level, and item sold, 2 seperate parts to it, may be we dont want to show how many we sold, or may be we what to show once the online store has some decent sales, or for more enhansement, you can give fake SOLD, I have read somewhere, that Xstore them has fake sale , but think about it, if the bottom slider is saying someone just bought lets say SKU:12345 which is SNOW BRUSH 6.25 INCHES, and someone is looking at it, and see that where its said SOLD, it is still zero. that quickly tells them that all the sales showing popping saying someone just bought is all fake. bad business......! I am currently achieving this by doing so .page-id-⁠20 .product-stock.step-⁠1 span.stock-out{display:none !important;} .page-id-⁠20 .product-stock.step-⁠1 .stock-in{width:100% !important;} in Global CSS by going to theme custom css but its only for one area, not other areas where sold thing is still visible in product page, this CSS code was given in when asking for help

Hello @Shehzad Ghazi, Thanks for writing us ! Let's sum up the idea you have. Would you like to have simple stock even if advanced stock option enabled but no sales for this product are made ? If it is not what I thought, please, try to provide us more detalyzed information (screenshot,gifs are good ideas too). You have good idea to disable advanced stock for some time when you have no sales yet and enable it ones your business will grow up. Regards, Jack Richardson

Advance Stock with Item Sold, still waiting to see if you even think about advance stock with and with SOLD option, I like the advnace stock option, its a nice touch to it, but it would be better if you product the option the number of items to be sold to be visible or not, I must say, if the site is created all new, I want this option of number of item sold disable, because I dont want customer to see stock of lets say 2000 units, and item sold is 0, but after 6 months into it, then it would be nice to show SOLD stock as well to increase the same, so 6 months, may be avaliable stock is 150 but item sold is 3000. so suggestion is you want to seperate those 2, and not together.
