The offer module allows you to create offers on products with customized prices, text, and quantities, which are then sent to the end customer. Upon acceptance of the offer, the goods can easily be transferred to an order for further processing.
Is The Offer Module Only For Businesses?
No, the offer module works for everyone, but it has some limitations in terms of payment methods.
Can An End Customer Pay For Offers Via Online Store/Checkout?
No, unfortunately! As of now, the offer only "lives" in the control panel and cannot be transferred to the shopping cart in the online store. That means you have to use "manual" payment methods such as invoice, cash on delivery, or Vipps. You can read more about Vipps as a payment method here →
Does The Offer Affect The Stock Balance In The Store?
No, as long as an offer is just an offer, it will not affect the stock. That is, goods in an offer are not deducted from, or reserved in, the stock balance; this only happens when an order is created.
Must Offers Be Sent Before An Order Can Be Created?
No, from an offer in draft, you can choose to accept and create an order without having to send it via the customer first.
Does The Offer Work With The Procurement Module?
Yes! That's some of the magic with Acendy; modules talk together!
To give an example: if you create an offer on goods that are not in stock, it will not affect the stock balance until the offer is accepted and an order is created.
When the offer is converted into an order, the goods that are not in stock will automatically be placed in procurement or linked to existing procurement.
When the procurement is received, the order will be updated automatically when it is ready for delivery.
