I’ve managed to fix every single of my status issues by unchecking the box “Allow Negative Amount in Inventory”.
HOWEVER, I want customers to be able to add products to cart when stock is 0 because some products can be ordered from the manufacturer. Is there a way to fix this without using that box in the options?
[quote name=‘Philippe27’]Doesn’t work unfortunately. Not sure if that field is also supposed to work if stock is 0 but seems like it’s only if price is 0. Any other ideas?[/QUOTE]
I too was hoping that there was a way to allow users to be able to add products into their cart, even if my inventory is zero. I’d like people to be able to back order items, but keep an accurate inventory count in cs-cart.
If you want to add products with zero amount, you need to enable the “Allow negative amount in inventory” check box on the “Settings” page in the Administration panel of your store. But in this case you will not see the “Out of stock” label.

Anastasiya-
Thank you for the tip regarding how to setup my store to allow negative quantities (back orders). Is it possible to only setup negative quantities on specific products? I don’t really want to enable this globally for the entire store, but i do want this feature for certain items.
Unfortunately, you cannot enable the “Allow negative amount in inventory” check box for the necessary products, but you can select the “Do not track” option in the “Inventory” drop-down select box on the necessary product details page. In this case these products will not be tracked at all.
