Out Of Stock Inventory Buffer

In Q1 2025, we’ll be launching the Inventory Buffer feature, designed to give merchants more control over inventory calculations. With Inventory Buffer, merchants can set an integer buffer threshold that adjusts inventory calculations across their store. This feature helps prevent overselling by allowing merchants to designate a buffer level that effectively marks products as out of stock once they hit a specified quantity threshold. What Is Inventory Buffer? The Inventory Buffer feature lets merchants define a buffer number that affects all inventory-based calculations, such as inventory quantity and sold-out status. By setting a buffer value, merchants can ensure that products with low stock levels are treated as out of stock sooner, adding an extra layer of inventory control. How Merchants Can Use Inventory Buffer: Benefits for Merchants: Looking Ahead: The Inventory Buffer feature is set to launch in Q1 2025 and will be a valuable addition to Dynasort’s inventory management toolkit.

Flex Attributes enable merchants to create multiple instances of a ranking attribute with unique minimum and maximum values. Merchants can then apply these different versions in separate ranking recipes, allowing for customized ranking strategies that reflect specific collection needs or product types. Flex Attribute Options: Once live, Flex Attributes will be available for a variety of standard and advanced criteria, including: How Merchants Can Use Flex Attributes: Benefits for Merchants: Looking Ahead: With Flex Attributes launching in December 2024, merchants will gain unprecedented control over collection ranking, making it easy to adapt recipes to different product types and inventory needs.

Product Sell Through Rate (STR) Attribute

In Q4 2025, we’ll be introducing the Product Sell Through Rate (STR) as a new attribute for merchants to use in their sorting recipes and managed collections. This powerful attribute will allow merchants to prioritize products based on how efficiently they’re selling through available inventory, helping optimize merchandising strategies and improve stock management. What Is Product Sell Through Rate (STR) Attribute? The Sell Through Rate (STR) attribute will calculate how much of a product’s inventory has sold over a specific time period relative to the available stock. Merchants will be able to use this attribute in sorting recipes to promote or deprioritize products based on their sell-through performance, ensuring the most relevant products are highlighted in collections. How Merchants Will Use STR in Dynasort: Once the STR attribute is available, merchants will be able to: Benefits for Merchants: Looking Ahead: The Product Sell Through Rate (STR) attribute will be available in Q4 2025, giving merchants a new way to dynamically manage their product visibility and optimize inventory flow.

Combined Products Handling

Overview: Merchants using combined products to bypass Shopify’s 99-variant limit have long faced challenges with merchandising parent/child product relationships. Our latest roadmap enhancements focus on optimizing the handling of parent products based on aggregated data from child variants. Here’s how we’re addressing the issue and what’s coming next for Dynasort. Problem: The Parent/Child Product Relationship Current Challenge: Merchants display the parent product on their storefront, but the variants sold are child products. This creates difficulties in accurate merchandising because attributes like sales data, inventory levels, and reviews are tied to the child variants rather than the parent. Solution Delivered: Our development team has implemented filters that aggregate data from child products and apply it to the parent for more accurate ranking and merchandising decisions. This allows parent products to be merchandised in collections as if they were standalone items with full data visibility. Phase 1: Introduction of Data Filters for Combined Products (Completed) Key Features: Phase 2: Enhanced Automation and Dynamic Ranking (Completed) Focus Areas: Goal: Automate the entire process of calculating and applying child product data to parent products for more dynamic merchandising, reducing merchant involvement in day-to-day catalog management. Phase 3: Advanced Analytics and Merchandising Flexibility (In Progress) What’s Next: Objective: To offer merchants even greater flexibility and granularity in their merchandising decisions, allowing for precise control over product ranking and visibility in large catalogs. What This Means for Merchants Looking Ahead: Continuing Innovation Dynasort’s roadmap for handling combined products is designed to meet the evolving needs of large-scale Shopify stores. Stay tuned as we introduce more advanced features that take your merchandising to the next level.
