addtocartmagento2magento2.3out-of-stockquote
I'm using Magento v2.3, I want to add out of stock products to cart without changing any configuration from backend.
I'm using following function to add product to cart
addProduct($productInfo, $requestInfo)
from following class
Magento\Checkout\Model\Cart
But it checks for saleable quantity.
Is there any way to ignore saleable check and add out of stock products to cart?
Unfortunately, you are not missing a step here. Normally, people would think that the following two configuration options are enough to make it happen:
System - Configuration - Catalog - Inventory - Stock Options - Display Out of Stock Products to Yes.System - Configuration - Catalog - Inventory - Product Stock Options - Backorder to Allow Qty Below 0.You of course also have to make sure that the same settings are set in the specific product or that the product is configured to use the config settings.
Unfortunately, this is not true. So that it really works, the availability of the product has to be set to In Stock. Otherwise, Magento will not show the add to cart button and will not let you buy the product.
This alone would maybe not be a problem if you could configure Magento not to set the product to Out of Stock each time it is ordered and falls below the Qty for Item's Status to Become Out of Stock barrier. But this is not possible. For the smart guys out here: No, it is also not possible to set this setting to a quantity below 0 via the admin settings.
Possibilities:
Out of Stock by fixing the config entry in the database: UPDATE `core_config_data` SET `value` = '-9999' WHERE `path` = 'cataloginventory/item_options/min_qty';. Although this then applies to all products, not only to the ones which are configured for backorders.In Stock manually each time such an order occurs (of course only possible for very rare cases).By default in Magento, if you go to System -> Configuration -> Catalog -> Inventory and set Backorders to "Allow Qty Below 0", and on the product page in the inventory tab you have the following settings:
then, the product should show as "In stock" on frontend and the customer should be able to add it to cart:
By changing the Stock Availability of the product to "Out of stock" you should be able to get it to show as "Out of stock" on the frontend:
Are you trying this with the default Magento theme? If you are using a custom theme and this is not happening for you with these setting there might be a problem in the theme you are using.

If you want to add out of stock products to cart without changing any configuration from the backend then you have added enable super mode of the product during add to card
