I would like to give facility to purchase 'out of stock' products. I have enabled
System->Configuration-> Inventory->Display Out of Stock Products to 'Yes' System->Configuration-> Inventory->Backorders set 'Allo Qty Below 0'
Cleared cache and rebuild indexing. Still I can't see 'Add to cart' button when taking out of stock product. Front end product page shows message 'Availability: Out of stock' Please advice.
Magento enterprise version 1.11.2.0
You need Magento’s Back Order capabilities.
Back Order – a business order yet to be fulfilled because stock is unavailable.
To enable backorders, go to:
Admin Panel -> System -> Configuration -> Catalog Tab -> Inventory -> Product Stock Options -> Backorders = Allow Qty Below 0 and Notify Customer
Now in Product -> Inventory tab
Edit Product to Qty = 0
and
Stock Availability = In Stock
When you add the particular product to cart, the product is added to cart and you will see the following message:*
This product is not available in the requested quantity. 1 of the items will be backordered.
You can order the product even if it is out of stock. The product will be delivered to you when it is in stock.
