Ecommerce help

On my website I have some products that have a limited quantity and would like to place a countdown on these products. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Ecommerce help

Are you using a shopping cart program. I believe 0Scommerce allows you to do a countdown on your products.

Re: Ecommerce help

If your products are hard coded on your website, how are you going to do this automatically anyway? Surely you will have to change it yourself?

Sorry if i am misunderstanding you!

Re: Ecommerce help

Your right I thought there was a way of listing items available. I can change them as people order.

Re: Ecommerce help

Why don't you just do something like:
Code: Select all
Availability: 10 left out of 100.
I don't know - whatever you think is suitable!

Re: Ecommerce help

Yup, you are going to have to update it yourself by editing the html.

Re: Ecommerce help

Also, you might consider updating to a cart that has a database and take full advantage of the functionalities it offers. A lot of them have stock quantity and this should help you out. I know that it might be expensive to get it started but it will be worth it later. Trying to convert to something while you are very busy will cause more problems
