Default Re: Don't show "Out of stock" after add to cart

Oh, ok. Actually, if it was the last item it should show "out of stock" since there are none left to sell. If you wait until "payment is made" how do you handle the situation where two customers have the identical "last item" in their cart? If they put it in their cart and don't make payment and leave, it eventually puts the item back in stock, but I don't know how long it keeps the customer's "cart" once they leave, an hour or so if I had to guess.

I thought you were talking about something else... a customer adds the item to their cart, sees the "out of stock", and thinks that the product isn't available and leaves. This happens more often than you would think, at least that has been my experience. That is the reason I changed the language variable from "out of stock" to "sold out", customers seem to understand it better that way.
