Updated 2026-05-09

A small status pill that adapts to the variant's stock level.

Block settings

Setting	Notes
Threshold	Inventory level below which "Low stock" message kicks in (default 10)
Low stock text	Template — `{count}` placeholder for actual quantity
In stock text	Static label (default "In stock")
Sold out text	Static label (default "Sold out")
Show "in stock" message	If off, only Low stock and Sold out states render
Pulse animation	Animated dot for visual attention
Color (low / sold out)	Single color for both states
Color (in stock)	Separate green-ish color

The block reads current_variant.inventory_quantity and inventory_management:

If inventory is tracked AND inventory_policy != continue:
- quantity > threshold → In stock (if enabled)
- 0 < quantity ≤ threshold → Low stock with count
- quantity = 0 → Sold out
If inventory is not tracked:
- Available → In stock (if enabled)
- Unavailable → Sold out

The block updates live when the customer picks a different variant.

Threshold 5–10 works well for fashion. Set to 3 for limited drops to create urgency.
Pulse animation draws the eye — useful for low-stock states; keep off for in-stock to avoid overstimulation.
Hide "in stock" message for catalogs where 99% of products are stocked — it becomes noise.
