inventory for a virtual product?
I'm lost - I'm trying to create a product that is virtual - ie has no
inventory - it is a subscription account billed either monthly or yearly.
I must be missing something because I've set the product to virtual in
the catalog, but in the store it still says that there are none of the
item in stock.

Hi Shereen,
instead of setting it as a virtual, please try to set the product type to "Service".

Hi All
I'm trying to achieve the following scenario
The Customer will subscribe to a product this product is magazine or
journal so I've created the product and set up a subscription resource to
it
and created a sales order and then choose the product and I found a record
in the subscriptions linking the order with the productSubscription
that's fine
my problem now is that those magazines and books will not be in warehouse.
The publisher will send them direct t the client
so I don't want want any inventory items and I don't want any stock checking
So I made the it virtual product
and I tried to make another sales order on the product but I couldn't.
it gave me the following message Choose Variation Before Adding to Cart
Although It's not a virtual product why that happened?
Am I on the right direction of completing a sales order where items are not
in my warehouse?
Should I set the supplier to Can Drop Shipe="Y"
I'm confused about this

Ryan,
Any subscription product is a Digital Good, so productTypeId="DIGITAL_GOOD"
for this product. A subscription product will neither be virtual nor
varient. You'll need to create a "SubscriptionResource" record and finally
associate it to the "Product" using "ProductSubscriptionResource" entity.
In "ProductSubscriptionResource" entity you can use fields "useTime" and
"useTimeUomId" to set the Subscription Duration.

Hi Ryan
A virtual product is intended to be a parent grouping product for regular
products(the variants). The classic example is a virtual T-shirt product
which would be used to group products like T-shirt (white, size small),
T-Shirt (red, size medium), etc. The user would then purchase a T-shirt but
be required to select a colour and size so that one of the variant products
is actually purchased.
There is support for subscription type products in the system but I have no
experience with that, I'm sure someone else would be able to give you more
advice.
Regards
Scott

Ryan,
Check the product with ID: GZ-NEWS-1MO
It is a subscription product example.
