🌱Example: Stock (like in life)

This means real life stock, for set limit of buy/sell times, please view Products page.

UltimateShop does not store a separate warehouse inventory. Instead, use server-wide transaction counts: the number sold becomes the buy limit.

Player A sells 5 items
        ↓
server sell count becomes 5
        ↓
shop buy limit becomes 5
        ↓
Player B can buy at most those 5 items

Set dynamic value for your product configs

The plugin itself does not store stock data, however, the logic of stock is essentially that player A sells an item to the shop, then the shop can sell the item sold by player A to player B. You only need to set a buy limit, and the value of the buy limit is the number of times the product is sold globally, that is, the placeholder: {server-times-server}. Read dynamic prices before read this page. Similar to Dynamic Prices, if you want to make stock system, do it in buy-limits option and put {server-times-server} placeholder in it, for example:

  A:
    price-mode: ALL
    product-mode: CLASSIC_ALL
    products:
      1:
        material: echo_shard
        amount: 1
    buy-prices:
      1:
        economy-plugin: EcoBits
        economy-type: quest_points
        amount: 5
        placeholder: '&b{amount} Quest Points'
        start-apply: 0
    sell-prices:
      1:
        economy-plugin: EcoBits
        economy-type: quest_points
        amount: 5
        placeholder: '&b{amount} Quest Points'
        start-apply: 0
    buy-limits:
      global: '{sell-times-server}' 
    buy-times-reset-mode: 'NEVER'
    buy-times-reset-time: '00:00:00' 

We changed:

• price-mode option to ANY or ALL.

• buy-limits option to {sell-times-server} . For sell limits, you need write {buy-times-server} here. Replace the placeholder to {buy-times-player} and {sell-times-player} to make the stock be per player.

• buy-limits-reset-mode option to 'NEVER'

In this way, we can ensure that players can only purchase items in the same quantity as the sell times (means restocking by other players sell it)

Variations

• Replace server placeholders with player placeholders for a personal stock system.

• Use {buy-times-server} in a sell limit to model demand before supply.

• Add a fixed amount in a math expression to provide initial stock.

• Combine this with dynamic prices so scarce products become more expensive.

Restock Manually

Restocking means changing transaction counts or the formula that determines the limit.

• This content of auto reset buy/sell times is introduced on this page.

• Use command /shop setselltimes <shop> <product> global <newStockPlusNowSellTimes>. If you want to restock 50 amount, and the now sell time is 75, then you need put 125 to <newStockPlusNowSellTimes>.
