Hello!
I'm hoping that Gravity Forms will handle this for me... Basically I have a company (http://indiegiftbox.com) where we release curated boxes every month. We have a limited supply and I was using Jigoshop to sell them, but Jigoshop doesn't update the stock until AFTER Paypal payment has been received, and since we had about a hundred people trying to buy 12 boxes this past month all at exactly the same time, a lot of people were able to "check out" of the website and get to Paypal, send payment, and then Jigoshop "back-ordered" 30+ boxes I didn't have since payment had been received. These people were clicking the checkout button within milliseconds of each other and Jigoshop couldn't handle it.
If I use Gravity Forms and restrict the number of entries on a form, will it update immediately and prevent additional entries from going through? I know it will update before it gets to Paypal, but I still need it to update within milliseconds to prevent people trying to click the submit button at the same time from being able to purchases boxes that are not there.
Has anyone done a high-traffic sale like this using Gravity Forms before? Will it work?
Thank you!
