Time to Cancel Feature - Web App

The Time to Cancel feature allows you to control how long a shopper can keep an item in their cart before it is automatically removed. This is important during sales or high-demand periods, helping you manage stock levels and prevent overselling.

Key Benefits:

• Prevent Overselling: By setting a time limit for items in carts, you can avoid situations where shoppers hold products for too long, leading to sales beyond your available inventory.

• Better Inventory Control: The feature ensures that items are not reserved indefinitely, allowing other shoppers the chance to purchase in-stock items.

• Encourage Faster Purchases: Shoppers are motivated to complete their purchase within the set time, reducing the likelihood of cart abandonment.

How It Works:

• Log on to the Bumpa Web App: app.getbumpa.com.

• Access Inventory Settings: On your dashboard, scroll to the Inventory Settings section.

• Toggle the Reduce Inventory Button: Turn on the feature to start managing your inventory more effectively.

• Set the Time Limit: Set how long an item can stay in a cart. The default setting on Bumpa is 30 minutes, but you can adjust it by choosing any of the options to suit your sales and inventory needs.

  • Days: Enter the number of days (e.g., 1 for 1 day).

  • For hours: Enter the number of hours (e.g., 1 for 1 hour).

  • For minutes: Enter the number of minutes (e.g., 15 for 15 minutes).

Note:

• When the time expires, the order will be automatically cancelled if payment is not made and the item is automatically removed from the cart and becomes available for other shoppers.

• Shoppers can re-add the item to their cart if it's still available.

This feature helps you maintain better inventory control and avoid overselling during busy sales periods.
