This module gives you a possibility to work further with the stock status: Out of Stock. As you know, when a product gets sold out, it gets the Out of Stock status. Without this module, customers can still add this product to cart and you must contact them with the unfortunate message, that the product cannot be ordered, because it is not available anymore.

With this module you can control the Out of Stock status by a simple extra setting. Do you want to disable customers to add the product to cart, when it is out of stock? Check, you can do it. Or do you want to permit customers to add the product to cart, despite it has the Out of Stock status? You can do this also by switching a button.

Without this module, your customers can add the product to cart, even so it has the Out of Stock status. If you know, that you will not be able to sell this product in near future, you just use this module and unable the customers to add it to cart.

The advantage of this extension is that you don’t need to delete the product. In general, you shouldn’t delete the products from e-shop – you preclude dead links and deleting the records of old orders, or most importantly the reference from your customers. You may want to offer the product in the future. We can demonstrate it on a case of a bookstore. When you sell out a book and the reprint is planned, but you do not know the exact date, you just temporarily unable the customers to add this book to cart. But in future you can allow them to do so.

1. Open your Administration of OpenCart. From the menu on the left side choose the category “Extensions” and the subcategory “Installer”.
2. Upload the module you downloaded. The module will be installed.
3. From the menu on the left side in the category “Extensions”, choose the subcategory “Modifications”. On the right side click on the “Refresh” button. This step is important for the installation to be successful.

4. From the menu on the left side in the category “System” choose the subcategory “Localisation” and click on “Stock Statuses”. You will see the “Stock Status List”.
5. Choose any status you want and click on “Edit” in the menu on the right side in a field “Action”.

Manual Installation


1. Extract the downloaded module to any folder in your PC.
2. Open the chosen folder in your FTP client.
3. You will see the file “install.xml”.
4. Rename the file “instal.xml”. For example, rename it into this form “module.ocmod.xml”. The first section “module” is fully on your choice, you can name it any way you like, although the name must be unique – do not use a name of the file, which already exists in your PC. And the second part “.ocmod.xml” must be named exactly in this format. Otherwise the installation will fail.
