I get what inventory variants are for.. blue tees in small, medium & large - they are 3 unique stocked items, with individual stock levels.
But that's not what my products are - I have a single items I sell , that have optional add-ons, for instance:
Widget 1 is my base product, and I have 10 in stock I can sell.
Customers can buy widget 1 buy itself, or with a case, or with an adapter, or with both. All have different pricing base on what they choose.
But I still only have the fixed number of widgets. So when a customer buys widget 1 with a case, none of the other variations get reduced in quantity, so suddenly I have 9 widgets left in stock, but people can still buy 10 widget by themselves our with an adapter, but only 9 with a case..
This is a terrible user experience for me - I constantly have to go and update every variation of widget 1 every time I sell one of any variation, and if I have a sales spree - like overnight while I am asleep, I can over sell more then I physically have - which has happened to me many many times.
Check the attached image of the total mess variants are for this situation - and I want to add more options, but it just compounds the issue exponentially! We desperately need a solution for this.
Or, we need a way to have a product and "additional items at $X per item" - which is how most sane online inventory systems work.
