To enable resorts to capitalize on the opportunity to offer scarcity messaging, the calendar availability urgency feature is offered on the calendar appearing on the product detail page (either inline or drop-down calendar). This feature enables the following functionality:
Display the same low inventory color - coding that is only available on the full pricing calendar today across both the large dynamic pricing calendar and the inline calendar that displays on the product detail page.
Offer the same low inventory color-coding that is available today across more product types, with the introduction of calendar templates that enables assigning specific thresholds to specific products.
Allow low inventory thresholds that determine the number at which color coding is displayed. This unique threshold only applies to a group of products rather than a singular, store-wide threshold.
Display a description above the calendar of specific products to explain to guests what to do if a date they are interested is sold out or nearing selling out.

New Feature Quick Comparison - Aspenware Commerce vs. Cloud
...
Feature | Aspenware Commerce | Aspenware Cloud |
|---|---|---|
Threshold to determine low inventory | Store-wide low inventory threshold that applies to all products that use the dyanmic pricing calendar and have inventory. For non-Cloud implementations, the store determines a product is “low-inventory” if it drops below a store-wide inventory number. This store-wide inventory threshold is not always an accurate low inventory barometer across distinct product types, for example, a ticket may be considered low if a date only has 100 left, while a lesson may be considered low when it has less than 10 left. | Enables the same low inventory color-coding that is available today across more product types, with the introduction of calendar templates, which allows low inventory thresholds, which determine the number left at which to display color coding on dates. This is triggered by a unique threshold that only applies to a group of assigned products. |
Display Low Inventory Dates on Inline CalendarPDP Calendars | Not supported | Inline Calendars, configured by adding [Inline Calendar] to the date picker text prompt on a product, PDP Calendars (both inline and drop down calendars) will display low inventory dates as color coded if the product is configured to display inventory urgency. |
Display a Date Selection Description above Calendar | Not supported | Enables displaying a description that can appear above the calendar of assigned products. This can be used to explain to users what to do in the event the date they are interested is sold out or doesn’t have enough spots for their desired party size. |
COMING SOON - Display Low Inventory Dates on Large Pricing Calendar | This display is supported but can only leverage the global store-wide setting for low inventory across all products. Also, all products that use the Large Pricing Calendar will see the key for inventory regardless of whether the product can sell out or has inventory configured/use color coding. | This display is supported and can leverage the specific low inventory threshold defined for a smaller group of products. |
