I'm lost - I'm trying to create a product that is virtual - ie has no
inventory - it is a subscription account billed either monthly or yearly. I must be missing something because I've set the product to virtual in the catalog, but in the store it still says that there are none of the item in stock. |
Hi Ryan
A virtual product is intended to be a parent grouping product for regular products(the variants). The classic example is a virtual T-shirt product which would be used to group products like T-shirt (white, size small), T-Shirt (red, size medium), etc. The user would then purchase a T-shirt but be required to select a colour and size so that one of the variant products is actually purchased. There is support for subscription type products in the system but I have no experience with that, I'm sure someone else would be able to give you more advice.

Ryan,
Any subscription product is a Digital Good, so productTypeId="DIGITAL_GOOD" for this product. A subscription product will neither be virtual nor varient. You'll need to create a "SubscriptionResource" record and finally associate it to the "Product" using "ProductSubscriptionResource" entity. In "ProductSubscriptionResource" entity you can use fields "useTime" and "useTimeUomId" to set the Subscription Duration.

Hi All
I'm trying to achieve the following scenario The Customer will subscribe to a product this product is magazine or journal so I've created the product and set up a subscription resource to it and created a sales order and then choose the product and I found a record in the subscriptions linking the order with the productSubscription that's fine my problem now is that those magazines and books will not be in warehouse. The publisher will send them direct t the client so I don't want want any inventory items and I don't want any stock checking So I made the it virtual product and I tried to make another sales order on the product but I couldn't. it gave me the following message Choose Variation Before Adding to Cart Although It's not a virtual product why that happened? Am I on the right direction of completing a sales order where items are not in my warehouse? Should I set the supplier to Can Drop Shipe="Y" I'm confused about this |
Hi Shereen,
instead of setting it as a virtual, please try to set the product type to "Service".
