Discreet stock management

[azurtem]

Hi

I would like to manage my stock but without affecting customer product views

I don't want a customer to know the status of the stock, either in quantity or in the form of warnings

However, I want customers to be able to continue ordering all products on my site, whether in stock or not

I managed to disable the display of quantities, and allow customers to buy items that are out of stock

But as soon as I activate the (simple) stock management warnings are displayed in the "categories product list",

on the "product page" and on the "basket" at checkout

I found the following suggestions to hide the 'out of stock' and 'available' warnings:

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/473452-remove-in-stock-on-the-product-page/

The concern is that when I apply these workarounds customers can no longer order items that are out of stock

Could someone please suggest me or refer me to an alternative solution?

thank you

regards

yann

I ended up adding the following line at the top of product.tpl, product-list.tpl et product-cart.tpl :

{assign var='PS_STOCK_MANAGEMENT' value=false}

I also ensured that that out_of_stock was set to 1 or 2 in the stock_available table
