Inventory

Take note of the following system behaviors regarding the ecommerce inventory:

• Each product and each variant has a stock level. The Ecommerce module does not change stock levels when an order is placed, paid, failed or refunded. If your project tracks stock, your storefront must update the stock level, for example through the API.
• A cart item stores the product, the variant and the quantity, but not a price. Each order item stores its own name, SKU, quantity and prices, so an order keeps the prices it was placed at.

Orders and payments

The following notes apply to orders and payments:

• Monetary values for orders and payments are stored as decimal numbers in the order's currency. For example, an order amount of $1.00 is saved as 1.0, and $105.55 is saved as 105.55.
• An order can have 0, 1, or multiple payments.
• A cart is not linked to an order. When a customer checks out, your storefront creates the order and adds its order items. The order items show the breakdown of what was bought.
• Orders support multiple payments (e.g., installments or recurring payments). This feature must be managed on the front end, as it meets a project requirement.
• Payments are associated with orders by assigning an order UUID to a payment.
• Orders and payments support partial/multiple payments. Thus, one order can have multiple payments. This feature must be managed on the front end, as suited to the project's requirements.
