many of our products are customizable, for example, the Sasquatch T-shirt can be purchased as-is, or for an extra fee the customer can change the text to say whatever they want.
In an ideal world the functionality surrounding a customer customizing a product, from the back end would be:
CUSTOMER ORDERS AS-IS
- if stock exists, stock is reserved
- if stock does not exist, manufacturing route is followed
- if not enough stock exists, items are split into a back-order
CUSTOMER CUSTOMIZES PRODUCT
- a dynamic variation is created
- Make to Order route is followed
So far I have figured out how to create a customization field that dynamically creates a variation, and I've unarchived the MTO route following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZV-LuO6o4Y, but I don't see how I can set up a dynamic route. Maybe i'm overthinking this? any help with any portion of this workflow would be greatly appreciated. newbie here
