The Soft Solid Mark Products in Orders as Reserved (ss_reserved_products) add-on for CS-Cart and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor allows administrators to mark products in orders as reserved. This helps in managing inventory more effectively by marking products that are temporarily reserved for specific orders, ensuring that they are not oversold or allocated to other customers until the order is processed.
The Soft Solid Mark Products in Orders as Reserved (ss_reserved_products) add-on provides a simple but powerful way to manage inventory by marking products as reserved in CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor orders. It improves inventory management, order transparency, and customer satisfaction by ensuring that products are set aside for customers and visible to them in their account section. This feature is especially useful in preventing overselling and ensuring that customers receive the products they’ve ordered.
Extension to CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor allows marking products in orders as reserved.
We start from installing an extension:
In add-on configuration we can select statuses of orders that will contain reserved products,
Each order has a tab, in which we can define which products are reserved. By default, all products have the "Reservation" checkbox marked.
On frontend, logged customers have access to the special tab.
Tab contains the list of all reserved products, across all the orders meeting status requirement from add-on configuration.
Key Features:
- Mark Products as Reserved:
- Admins can mark individual products in orders as reserved. This ensures that certain products are set aside and cannot be sold to other customers until the order status changes.
- Order Status Configuration:
- In the add-on configuration, administrators can specify which order statuses will include reserved products. For example, only orders in certain statuses (like "Pending" or "Processing") can have products marked as reserved.
- Reserved Products Tab:
- A new tab is added to each order, allowing admins to define which products are reserved.
- By default, all products in the order are marked as reserved, but this can be customized.

- Logged-in customers can access a special tab on the frontend to view their reserved products.
- This tab lists all reserved products across all orders that meet the status requirements configured by the Admin.
