View and purchase Exhibits in Experience Cloud

Nimble AMS enables association members to purchase exhibits through a modern, enjoyable, and seamless shopping experience. Members can view the details of the Exhibit product through the product details page and make an informed decision to complete the purchase process. The system automatically creates the necessary order and financial transactions once the payment is made.

View the Product Page Details

The Product Details page provides a detailed view of the product. Constituents can see the name of the product along with the image, description, and price. Constituents do not have to be logged in to Experience Cloud Community Hub to view the details of the product. The constituent will see their special pricing once they log in. We've designed the page to make it easy for them to navigate and make an informed purchase decision.

How can members change the quantity of items?

Members can use the Quantity element to modify the quantity of Exhibit products as needed when viewing product details. This allows for adjustments in case the maximum number allowed is exceeded or if there is a low inventory of a product. The quantity option is conveniently situated right below the product name for easy access. Members can effortlessly adjust the number of items by clicking on the [+] or [-] buttons.

In certain situations, messages will appear on the screen (as listed below):

Out of Stock

If you have no inventory left for a product, then members will see an 'Out of Stock' label on the button (as shown in Figure 2).
- Sometimes, the 'Out of Stock' button is displayed because the chosen quantity for the product exceeds the available stock. At this point, reducing the quantity will let the members proceed with their purchase.

Inventory Threshold Alert

If a product inventory is being tracked and the Inventory On Hand level falls below the Inventory Warning Threshold level, a message should be displayed indicating the remaining number of items, which match the current Inventory On Hand count. (Refer)
For instance, if a staff member sets the Inventory Warning Threshold at 5 and the Inventory on Hand count drops to 4, the message "Hurry, only 4 left in stock" will be displayed (as shown in Figure 3).
