How to enable overselling in the JTL store

With the JTL plugin “Allow oversales” you can enable oversales in your JTL store, although in JTL-Wawi the item settings “Work with stock” is enabled and “Enable oversales” is not enabled. Rene Kaltschmidt explains more in this latest video.

JTL is always a good choice

Nowadays, it has become difficult to choose an ERP system or an online store system in eCommerce. How to choose correctly with so much choice? Moreover, if you are at the beginning of your career, you do not know in which direction the whole company might develop. Therefore, it is important to choose a system that scales well and gives you full freedom of choice. And you get all that and so much more with JTL. JTL-Wawi is the innovative merchandise management system from JTL, with which you can centrally control all your business processes. The JTL-Shop, currently in the latest version JTL-Shop 5, offers you an attractive design, extensive settings for your article pages and a basic template with great customization options.

JTL plugin allow overselling

Furthermore, there are a lot of plugins that can extend your JTL store with valuable additional services. So is the JTL plugin “Allow overselling”. In JTL-Wawi itself the option is called oversell possible. The scenario behind it is the following: Sometimes there are items in your product range that you currently do not have in stock or in sufficient quantity. In your inventory management there is a subordinate option Oversell possible in the inventory options. And this option allows you to end up selling more than you actually have there. This is a useful function if you have the possibility to deliver quickly, e.g. with dropshipping.

Be careful with marketplaces like Amazon

However, you should be rather careful with the function, especially if you sell through marketplaces such as Amazon. Because the marketplace is pretty strict when it comes to on-time deliveries. If you can’t get the missing item in time, you will ruin your statistics and in the worst case you will be banned. So even if you should be careful with certain marketplaces, the option “Oversell possible” in JTL-Wawi applies to all marketplaces. If you still want to try, you can use JTL to calculate the exact delivery time. For example, if you are at 0 and enter dropshipping, the time of the dropshipping supplier will be calculated. However, you must remember that the responsibility also lies with the supplier. So you yourself can’t 100% guarantee that everything will go smoothly.

In your own online store is worth the plugin

If it is about your own online store, you have of course completely different possibilities. Here you take responsibility and have full control. Even if there is a delay in delivery, you can handle things very differently than you would in a marketplace. Because you will certainly not impose a punishment on yourself. However, customer satisfaction should always come first, so if there is a delay in delivery, you should definitely apologize to the customer and possibly offer them a discount. So for the store it is worth to activate the plugin “Allow overselling”. This way you can sell more in the JTL store without enabling overselling on Amazon or eBay.

Other settings remain unaffected

In addition, you can determine for which articles exactly the plugin should apply. Stock traffic light and the availability text can be adjusted, while all other settings in the store and in your inventory management remain untouched. So if you have a good supplier or you know that you can get goods quickly, even if they are currently sold out in your store, the “Allow oversells” plugin offers you great opportunities to generate more sales. You decide how you use it and for which items you use it. As long as you’re a little careful with the marketplaces, you’ll get real value delivered that way.
