WooCommerce Multilingual - Variable product stock status is not updated when it gets out of stock in the second language

Resolved

Reported for: WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency 5.3.2

Topic Tags: WCML

Overview of the issue

If you have a variable product in WooCommerce, and it goes out of stock with an order made in the second language, the stock is not updated in the other languages. Therefore, it will appear as “out of stock” in the language where the order was made, and available in all other languages.

Workaround

  • Create a backup of your site
  • Open the file wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/inc/translation-editor/class-wcml-synchronize-product-data.php
  • Replace 
    	public function sync_stock_status_for_translations( $product_id, $status ) {

		if ( $this->woocommerce_wpml->products->is_original_product( $product_id ) ) {

			$translations = $this->post_translations->get_element_translations( $product_id, false, true );

			foreach ( $translations as $translation ) {
				$this->woocommerce_wpml->products->update_stock_status( $translation, $status );
				$this->wc_taxonomies_recount_after_stock_change( $translation );
			}
		}
	}

    with:

    	public function sync_stock_status_for_translations( $product_id, $status ) {

	//	if ( $this->woocommerce_wpml->products->is_original_product( $product_id ) ) {

			$translations = $this->post_translations->get_element_translations( $product_id, false, false );

			foreach ( $translations as $translation ) {
				$this->woocommerce_wpml->products->update_stock_status( $translation, $status );
				$this->wc_taxonomies_recount_after_stock_change( $translation );
			}
		}
//	}

  1. Hello,

    Our website is in English (first language), French and German. We noticed that since quite some time products are not updated when ordered in either French or German. This had lead to many products being out of stock but still appearing available. People order the product we do not have in stock and obviously this causes many issues for us.

    I have pasted above code but it seems it only works for variable products. Do you have a similar fix for regular products as well? At the moment we have to manually update our stock when a product is ordered in French or German. This is not workable for us.

    Thank you in advance.

  3. Is there a update on this?

    I seem to be having the same issues with wrong stock on the translated page.

    But i dont want to try a “work around” that has been in the works for 8 months by now…

  4. We have exactly the same problem. Woodmart theme (We use Layout Builder https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/woodmart-woocommerce-layout-builder/)

    In the main language, variations are displayed with a choice of options, but on the translated page we see only: This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

    Edits in the file //class-wcml-synchronize-product-data.php// did not help to solve this problem
