Show the remaining inventory of a variant on product pages

Caution

Vintage themes aren't available in the Theme Store. Vintage themes don't have the features included in Shopify's Online Store 2.0 themes, and Shopify free vintage themes don't receive updates except security fixes.

Note

If you use a free theme from Shopify, then you can contact Shopify Support for help with this tutorial. It requires 15 minutes of design time. Learn more about the Shopify Design Policy.

Note

This customization is for vintage Shopify themes, and doesn't apply to Online Store 2.0 themes.

• Find out your theme's architecture version
• Explore Online Store 2.0 theme customizations

You can add a message on the product page or featured product section that displays the number of items you have in stock when inventory runs low on a product variant. For this message to display, you need to activate inventory tracking for the product.

The steps for this customization vary depending on your theme. Click the button for your theme and follow the instructions.

Tip

Shopify’s Supply theme and Venture theme already include a Show remaining quantity message setting. You can activate this setting from the theme editor.

Debut

Steps for Debut

Edit theme.liquid

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes.
2. Find the theme you want to edit, and then click the ... button > Edit code.
3. From the Layout directory, open theme.liquid.
4. Find the closing </head> tag in the code. On a new line above the closing </head> tag, paste the following code:

<script>
  var variantStock = {};
</script>

1. Click Save.

Edit product-template.liquid or featured-product.liquid

1. From the Sections directory, open product-template.liquid or featured-product.liquid:
   • Open product-template.liquid to add this feature to product pages.
   • Open featured-product.liquid to add this feature to the featured product section on the home page.
2. Find {% form 'product'. Above this tag, add the following code:

<div class="inventoryWrapper">
  {% if current_variant.inventory_quantity > 0 and current_variant.inventory_management == 'shopify' %}
    <p>Stock: {{ current_variant.inventory_quantity }}</p>
  {% endif %}
</div>

The code above outputs Stock: x. You can change the wording by adjusting the content in the <p> tags. Make sure to include {{ current_variant.inventory_quantity }} in your <p> tags.

1. At the bottom of the file, add the following code:

    <script>
      {% for variant in product.variants %}
        variantStock[{{- variant.id -}}] = {{ variant.inventory_quantity }};
      {% endfor %}
    </script>

1. Click Save.
