Simple Store Setup Possible?

[chepp]

I have spent many hours combing through the forums trying to figure out how to set up a simple store front and have not been able to find any succinct documentation on how to do so. I'm sure it's been posted hundreds of times, but I have not been able to find it. I would appreciate any help on finding simple instructions for my situation.

VirtueMart 3.0.14 / Joomla! 3.6.2

I am selling off old stock - no restocking is possible.

For this instance, lets say I am selling a plain black t-shirt with three sizes, S, M and L. There are no other variations, just the three sizes. I need to keep track of how many I have left of each size. If I set the sizes up as child products, I end up with four products instead of one, which become very ugly when selling multiple sizes of multiple kinds of shirts. If I set up a multi-variant for the three sizes, I cannot track inventory and the customer can order more than is actually available.

The customer should come to my site, see the one black t-shirt listing, see there are three size options for that one t-shirt, see how many of each size is available, and order any amount of each size up to and including everything left in stock. Is this possible?

To my knowledge apart from Googling where a lot of info is out of date etc there is no simplified step by step - but it isn't so difficult

Why don't you just download the http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1001/VirtueMart3.0.16_Joomla_3.5.1-Stable-Full_Package.zip
Install and when asked install the demo content and experiment

When finished delete it.. start a fresh with your site

The demo site is there with full access as well .. although still J2.5 .. but you can see whats what  - http://demo.virtuemart.net/

You should be on VM3.0.16 with J3.6!

for your setup u need Multi Variants
