Corresponding inventory information can be displayed in your webstore, on the product datasheet. The displayed figure (with value, or without value) depends on the setting provided at Display warehouse quantities. This menu option is to be used for determining if a product without available stocks should be displayed in your webstore, or if it should be hidden from your customers.

For the option Products displayed on home page, you can determine your best-fitting method: random 9, random promo 9, or all promo products are to be displayed.

The Right side promo frame, always showing 3 random promo products, can be configured to show up on either side of your webstore.
