How does reservation time work

When a customer goes to the checkout page of the online store, products are reserved for the customer for a certain period of time. You can adjust the reservations time as follows:

  1. Set the reservation time (in minutes) in the Products reservation time field.

  2. Click Save.

Here is how the reservation time works if, for example, two customers are trying to buy the same last product in the store:

  1. Customer A proceeds to the checkout page to buy a product.

  2. If customer B has the same product in his shopping cart, he will be informed at the checkout that the product is no longer available. Customer A can buy the product.

  3. If customer A does not buy the product, customer B (and other customers) will have the product available as soon as the reservation time expires.

The reservation period is also displayed in shopping carts. You can manually remove a reservation from a shopping cart's products, but in most cases, it is not necessary, as the reservation will be automatically removed when it expires.
