Show a low-stock message on products running low, set the stock threshold that triggers it, and style it to match your site.

Limited availability labels flag products running low on stock, which helps when you sell one-of-a-kind or limited-edition items.

Other ways to merchandize your products

Can I turn the labels off for individual products?

No. You can't turn the label on for one product and off for another. Settings are store-wide.

How do labels for service products work?

Service products need the Unlimited toggle switched off in Inventory settings, or their labels won't display.
