The Real-Time Inventory feature allows your guests to check the availability of any item at the manufacturer's factory (and in your own local showroom and warehouse inventory) in real-time including if an item is currently in stock, temporarily out of stock (with a restocking date if available), or entirely out of stock. The feature also allows the display of inventory count for current and future inventory.
Please Note: The Real-Time inventory feature is only available for our current plans (Basic or Data API).
