The Commerce Workflow is often used to sell memberships or physical items. We're excited to announce the ability to add product variants and basic inventory tracking so you can take the Commerce Workflow even further!
Product Variants
If you were using the Commerce Workflow to sell items, such as a hoodie, there was previously not a good way to track different sizes or colors. Or if you used the workflow to sell a symbolic animal adoption, you could not easily set different levels. We've introduced product variants to solve these types of scenarios.
When a variant is added to a product, the Commerce Workflow will show the variant as a secondary navigation. The user first chooses the product, and then chooses the variant. Each variant can have its own picture and details, allowing you to use variants to sell different levels, colors, sizes, and more.
You can mix and match products with variants (ex: S, M, L, XL Hoodie) and products without variants (ex: a coffee mug).
Product Inventory
Another highly requested feature for commerce workflows is the ability to track inventory. Inventory can be set for products if they don't have variants, or on the variant directly if they do.
Each time a purchase is made from the kiosk, we reduce the inventory appropriately. Once the inventory reaches zero, the product or variant is marked as "Sold Out".
We're excited to see how our customers use product variants and inventory tracking. If you're interested in using Commerce Workflows with your organization, they are available on our Growth plan and live right beside the Donation workflow you already use.
