Multiple product listings on a website but using one stock

JackForge

So we have a few products on our website that we have multiple listings for but we want to share the same stock value. So I'll give an example:
We sell shepherd hut wheels individually as one listing but we also sell a pack of 4 as a separate listing.

Is there a way we can link the two products together so the stock is linked?

Hi JackForge ,

Thanks for you post.

You can use ATUM Product Levels for that.

With it, you can assign BOM products (product parts or raw materials) to any "final" product and, when used together with the BOM Stock control option, when any product with BOMs is sold, the stock of all the assigned BOMs will be reduced accordingly and all the other products sharing the same BOMs will be also adjusted automatically.

we sell a mailbox:

You can buy the mailbox by itself (no stand or mount).
You can buy the mailbox with a stand.
You can buy the mailbox with a wall mount.

The problem:

woo commerce wants a unique code (SKU) for each variation (the product is a variation product: mailbox alone, mailbox + stand, mailbox + wall mount).

But the stand and wall mount are sold separately too, and you use them with other mailboxes.

What we want:

Track the stock of stands and wall mounts separately and individually.

When someone buys a mailbox with a stand, the purchase should reduce the stand's stock by 1 and the mail box by 1, and when purchased with a wall mount the same should happen with the wall mount stock.

Is there any way of doing this?

Hi JackForge ,

As said to you, that can be achieved with ATUM Product Levels.

For example:

You can create mailboxes, stands and wall mounts as BOM products and mark them as sellable.
You can link such BOMs to a parent product depending on your needs.
Every time a BOM or a parent product are sold, the stock levels will be updated for all the connected products.
You can activate the BOM Stock Control option to automatically calculate the parent products' stock from their linked BOMs stock.

You can access here all the Product Levels documentation.

I hope this helps.
