this is my first question and im not a programmer. English isn't my natural Language either.
I need to reduce to 0 or to the minimum possible the chances of woommerce taking orders or accepting payments when the stock reaches 0.
I simulated 2 purchases at the same time and both were received and the stock counter got to -1.
i expect a lot of people buying products at the same time in my website and I want to avoid giving money back because of sells above the stock.
i had another problem with "Mercado Pago" payment method. once an order was already cancelled (due to the time limit) it let the payment be finalised.
thank you very much!
I found out that your issue matches this one: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/negative-stock-quantity/
Also, it could be your payment gateway capturing the payments later or something which is causing the order status to be delayed. In such cases, the stock does go to a negative number which is a known issue.
