If you sell apples in quantity, a listing could identify variety, container size and the lot’s declared characteristics. Customers would specify quantity and preferred collection date. You would confirm the reserved lot rather than promise an entire harvest. A substitution would be proposed separately, and the preparation view would distinguish confirmed orders from requests still waiting for the grower to verify available quantities.
An illustrative example to adapt to your business. It does not represent a completed project in this municipality.
Should every variety stay visible throughout the year?
They can remain in an orchard introduction, but the shop should distinguish the general catalogue from orderable lots. Every published availability should reflect the information your business currently has.
How can already reserved apples avoid being sold again?
Confirmed quantities are deducted from the relevant lot. A threshold can close new enquiries while your team checks the latest reservations before making additional quantities available for sale.
