cart that allows browse/search BY SIZE returning only results IN STOCK in that size

    I am looking for a shopping cart for a small apparel store that supports search/browse BY SIZE, and where those results display only items having that item IN STOCK--in that size.

    The product available in multiple sizes should be presented to the customer as a single product, and the customer chooses the size from a menu within the product.

    Products are also browseable from a different attribute. For example, pants, shirts, etc.

    I have used corecommerce for some time and it tries to support this with product customizations and custom product lists, but the setup is redundant--you have to define the sizes and inventories, then keep a separate grouping of what's in each size.

    I have been looking at Magento, and that at least does not seem to require a separate, but when the user browses by that attribute, everything with the attribute defined is returned, even if it's out of stock.

    This seems like it would be a basic requirement for any shopping cart that is going to be used for apparel. Don't any of the carts do this? When I write this question to sales teams, I get half-answers, like "we support multiple sizes, and they won't each be counted as a different product."

    I belive you can set Magento to set out of stock products to not be visable, using the admin configurations.

    I use Big Commerce for my shopping cart service provider and was looking through my admin panel. It doesn't look like they have the option to hide products when it goes out of stock. It just displays a message that the product is no longer available. However, their service does allow product variations (size, color options) to be displayed as a single product listing, via a drop down menu selector.

    If your product size is less then you can go with any eCommerce platform but to get easier in Online Store for your business, I would suggest you to go with Magneto which can fulfill your basic requirement that you can not find in other platform.
