Buyer App view for multiwarehouse product

There will be no changes of buyer checkout. After seller maintains more than one warehouse stock of the product, when buyer clicks "Buy Now", the TikTok Shop system will automatically analyze the best warehouse for this potential order as per location and stock of the warehouse.
Example
A product has stock of 34 which are divided into multiple warehouses. The main warehouse of this store is named : Nationwide Warehouse
  • 10 stock on Warehouse Java Bali
Service area : Java & Bali Island
  • 12 stock on Warehouse Sumatra
Service area : Sumatra island
  • 12 stock on Nationwide Warehouse (Default Warehouse)
Service area : Nationwide
A buyer located in Jakarta (Java island) wants to purchase 12 pcs of that product . The interface that buyers will see is :
  • TTS System will only show 10 stocks of that product from Warehouse Java Bali . This is because the nearest warehouse will always be prioritized to speed up delivery lead time and cheaper shipping fee
image
  • If the buyer successfully orders those 10 products, then the remaining stock in Warehouse Java Bali will be empty. If buyer wants to order an additional of 2 products, then TTS Shop system will show stock coming from Nationwide Warehouse.TTS System will refer buyers to the stock available in the main warehouse if the nearest warehouse stock is empty
  • When the available stock in Warehouse Java Bali and Nationwide Warehouse are empty, then there will be no more available stock for buyers to order. TTS Shop system will display a message to inform the buyer that there is no available stock for this product
