The idea is to reduce the stock level of a product as soon as a product is added to the shopping cart. In this way, you reduce overselling if, for example, several customers want to buy a product at the same time.
In the shopping cart, we display “Your products are reserved for you for 10:00” and then it starts counting down. If the customer clicks on continue and goes to the checkout, we increase the time again to 10:00 minutes. During the checkout process, the time continues to run and is not increased again. Once the time has expired, the shopping cart is emptied and the product stocks are increased again.
In the admin you can configure how long the time should be by default.
