Shopify shop creation

Hey, how do you guys create that “low stock” effect on Shopify checkout pages?
I mean when it says something like “Only 3 left” or “10 in stock” under the product.
Are there any built-in Shopify apps or design tools that help with that? Or do you use custom code/scripts?

Here’s a short professional and humanised reply you could use:

That “low stock” effect usually isn’t built into Shopify by default. You can achieve it either with custom Liquid code/scripts that pull from inventory data or by using apps like Sales Pop, Urgency, or Stock Scarcity from the Shopify App Store. If you prefer more control over the design, custom coding gives a cleaner, brand-aligned look, while apps are quicker to set up.

JavaScript snippet. You let the script randomly generate a number within a range, for example between 3 and 10. Then it displays something like “Only 5 left in stock” under the product.

Here's a custom liquid for that.

<style>
.product__inventory {
padding-top: 10px; /* Adjust as needed */
padding-bottom: 10px; /* Adjust as needed */
}
</style>

<p class="product__inventory no-js-hidden" id="Inventory-template--22213608309023__main" role="status"><svg width="15" height="15" aria-hidden="true">
<circle cx="7.5" cy="7.5" r="7.5" fill="rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)"></circle>
<circle cx="7.5" cy="7.5" r="5" stroke="rgb(255, 255, 255)" stroke-width="1" fill="rgb(255, 0, 0)"></circle>
</svg>Low stock</p>

Here's another one

<style>
.blink {
animation: blink-animation 1.5s steps(5, start) infinite;
color: red;
display: inline-block; /* Display as inline-block */
vertical-align: middle; /* Align vertically to middle */
font-size: 10px; /* Set font size */
}

@keyframes blink-animation {
to {
visibility: hidden;
}
}

.red-div {
background-color: #ffcccc;
padding: 2px 10px; /* 6px vertical, 10px horizontal */
border-radius: 8px; /* Rounded corners */
display: inline-block; /* Display as inline-block */
text-align: center; /* Center align the content */
margin: 0 auto; /* Horizontally center the red-div */
}

.text {
display: inline-block; /* Display as inline-block */
vertical-align: middle; /* Align vertically to middle */
margin-left: 10px; /* Add some space between the dot and the text */
color: #AD0000; /* Text color */
font-weight: 500; /* Medium font weight */
font-size: 12px; /* Set font size */
text-align: justify; /* Justify the text to the center */
}
</style>

<div class="red-div">
<div class="blink">&#9679;</div>
<div class="text">Only 4 bags left at this price.</div>
</div>

That “low stock / urgency” effect isn’t built into Shopify by default, but there are a few easy ways to get it done. The simple route is using apps like Hurrify, Ultimate Scarcity Pro, or Sales Pop they let you display “Only X left in stock” or countdown timers without touching code. If you prefer to keep it lean, you can also add a small custom script/liquid snippet that pulls from your product inventory and displays dynamic stock numbers under the buy button. I’ve set this up for a few stores in different ways, depending on the brand style. If you want, DM me and I can share the exact tools/snippets that work best.
