Seats can be used to set up the number of places in the product and courses in it, so that only limited number of users could buy the selected product. E.g., this could be used if you want only 30 people to be enrolled into the course within some product. Find instructions for setting up the product with seats below.

To create a product with seats:

  1. Choose IntelliCart and click on Products tab.

  2. In the top right corner of the tab, click on Create Product.

    Under Product Options settings block enable seats and put a value to Seats for limiting the number of product places. If only this setting is set up, users will be available to purchase only 1 seat for themselves as a regular product.
    NOTE: "0" stands for unlimited.

  4. Enable buying seats and put a value to Max seats number per one user fields for limiting the number of product places that could be bought by 1 user. If this setting is enabled in addition to Seats above, users will be available to purchase seats for other users and the number of seats allowed for purchasing per user will be limited.
    NOTE: "0" stands for unlimited.
    NOTE: Enable buying seats setting will become available only when Enable Seats Vendors IntelliCart setting is on.
