Managing inventory display (show) settings for booking page layouts

Control how inventory is displayed to help customers view your complete offering, even when items are unavailable. Use these settings to show the number of units available, sold units, or what’s currently unavailable.

You can learn about the available display options, including showing the number of available, unavailable, sold-out inventory, and configuring inventory display options.

You can display the number of bookable inventory available to customers by selecting the Number of items/products available to customers option from the Show setting.

If you select the Unavailable items/products option from your Show setting, you can display all Customer-facing items/products regardless of availability. Items/products displayed in red are not bookable at that time.

Showing unavailable items/products is a great way to showcase your bookable inventory for alternate dates. 

Similar to showing unavailable items/products, selecting the Sold out items/products option from your Show setting allows your Customers to see the items/products that are currently sold out to find an alternate date. 

1. Go to Manage → Layout → Booking Page.
2. Scroll to the Show setting. 
3. Enable the options you want by checking the boxes:
   • Number of items/products available to Customers
   • Unavailable items/products
   • Sold out items/products
4. Click the Save button.
5. Open your Booking Page (or preview) and verify:
6. Available items show counts
7. Unavailable items appear (in red) but are not clickable
8. Sold-out items also show up, so users know what’s out of stock
