Hello.

I am having trouble showing the stock status according to the Reserved Stock, in product List / Detail pages when adding products to cart.

Scenario:

The Settings for Stock are defined in Settings > Ecommerce > Orders > Stock States . The Stock is set to 3 levels

0 - Out of Stock

<=10 - Low

>=11 - Available

A product exists with 12 available items. 3 items are added to cart. Having now 9 items, I need to Show the label "Low", which is not happening.

My idea is to get all the possible Stock states of a product and use logic update them on the fly, while the products are being added to cart.

What API method should I Use for that?

This one seems to retrieve only the current State, not all possible, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

Does GetStockStatuses on StockStatus give you what you need? (https://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/859886e1-47eb-a0c9-c176-1f9638eb74c4.htm) Rate and Definition give you the values specified in the backend (rate is the number, definition something like > or < etc.).

I guess the only problem is that you need to parse the proper values / thresholds yourself.

I was implementing the Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Stocks.StockGroup.GetStockGroups() method but havent seen these you suggested.

The key here is that the first returns all Statuses of All StockGroups, and the Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Stocks.StockStatus.GetStockStatuses() requires the statusGroupId as parameter. I think ill go for the second choice because it requires less iteration
