Ayacca Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi It is smart and normal to decrement a stock when the payment has not effectively been made? I simulated a purchasing on my shop and found out that the stock was decremented while it should not have. Someone could simulate mass purchasings(using a php script) on a competitor shop, using bank paiement transfer or check(but not really making this transfer, not really paying), bringing its stock to 0 and preventing this shop to really sell... This is a kind of security flaw. isnt an security updated needed...? Subsidiary question: how to know the original stock of a product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh42 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Think about it this way. You have a shop that makes custom scarves and you only have 5 of one in stock. I order 4 through bankwire and send my check. Then the next day before my check arrives another guy orders 3 and sends his check. You have sold 7, you only have 5. Bankwire and check are not really great payment methods for using for e-commerce for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
