The Advanced Stock Options facility is an excellent alternative to the basic facility and allows for much more control over your stock in general. This will benefit your website or Buegle Store if the following points apply to your online business:

• You need to up to six different options in a single product *
• You wish to have the image of your product reflect the options selected
• You would like to specify multiple price increases/decreases for your item options
• You have limited stock for some of your item options and would like to make this apparent on your online store

*Note - the six different options consist of up to three drop-down options and up to three text and/or file upload fields.

How Does It Look?

When you first enable and set up Advanced Stock Options on your website, you may not notice a major difference to your stock pages cosmetically. The majority of changes are apparent through the control panel, which are covered in the second part of this guide.

Here is a side by side example of how the standard stock & advanced stock options look on your website (please click the thumbnail images for a full size example):

As you can see, the advanced stock options not only allow your customers more options to choose from, but they are instantly notified how many of those product variations are in stock and available for purchase.

Your customers are automatically notified if the product variation is out of stock (dont worry, we have made sure your item cannot be purchased by accident if this is the case as the "Add to Cart" button will not be available on the item).
