Low Inventory Notice

Show low-stock alerts on cart items and upsells to create urgency and increase conversion.

Last updated

Display a notice like "Only 3 left!" on cart line items and upsell product cards when a product's stock is at or below a configurable threshold.

Configuration

  1. Go to Cart Designer → Layout & Function → Inventory notice
  2. Check Enable to activate the feature
  3. Set the Threshold — the notice appears when stock is at or below this number (default: 5)
  4. Choose the Display location:
    • Line items & upsells — show on both
    • Line items only
    • Upsells only
  5. Customize the Notice text — use {count} to insert the remaining quantity. Default: "Only {count} left!". You can also go less specific, e.g. “Only a few left”.
  6. Set the Text color to match your branding

How It Works

  • The notice only appears when inventory is greater than 0 and at or below the threshold
  • Uses variant-level inventory when available, otherwise falls back to the product-level total

Translations

The notice text is translatable. Go to Language & Translations to set translations for each language your store supports. Use {count} in each translation to insert the remaining quantity.
