Hello everyone!

I am the developer of Spectral Dot plugin which is a free WordPress plugin that I managed to release this week.

First of all, this plugin was designed to let store owners offer temporary product reservation, also provide a temporary solution for customers that need to think more when they want to purchase an item (luxury or non-luxury).

How Spectral Dot works:

- You are able as a customer to reserve a product for a limited time while you decide whether to purchase it
- Once you do this reservation, one unit of stock is held for you for the amount of time that the administrator set.

- In that time you can add the reserved item to your cart and complete checkout in your account-> Reserved products.

- If someone does not purchase the item when the time expires, the reserved unit is automatically returned to available stock and you will not need to manually update stock levels.

In this version that was released, an account for the customer will be required in order to be able to reserve products.

For more safety for the administrators, we implemented the admin approval feature that will save you from spam requests as you can approve or deny any reservation made (in case this happens, this feature allows you to not reserve a stock until you approve it).

You can test it on your website and see if this will suit your store:

For all the store owners, here are my questions for you:

• Would product reservations be useful for your store?
• What concerns would you have about customers holding stock?
• What features or settings would make this more useful for you?

I’d appreciate your honest feedback about this and I'm here to answer any questions you have regarding Spectral Dot.

Thank you all for your time!
