If you’re a Shopify store owner, you may have come across the following scenario: you have a product that is out of stock, but you don’t want to remove it from your store because it’s popular and you know it will sell as soon as it’s back in stock. So, what do you do? In this blog post, we will show you how to display an out of stock message in Shopify. By following the steps below, you can keep your product listing visible on your site and notify customers when the product is back in stock.
Steps to Display Out Of Stock Message in Shopify
If you are using Shopify to sell products online, you may want to display an out of stock message when a product is no longer available. There are a few different ways that you can do this.
One option is to use the built-in inventory management features in Shopify. To do this, go to your Shopify admin and click on “Products.” Then, click on the product that is out of stock and select “Edit.” In the “Inventory” section, change the “Track quantity” setting to “Yes” and enter the current quantity in the “Stock” field. Save your changes and the out of stock message will automatically be displayed on your product page.
Another option is to use a third-party app like Back in Stock or Out of Stock Notifier. These apps will allow you to set up an out of stock message for your products and customize how it is displayed.
If you want more control over how your out of stock message is displayed, you can create a custom template in your theme. To do this, go to your Shopify admin and click on “Online Store.” Then, click on “Themes” and choose the theme that you’re using. Click on “Edit code” and in the “Templates” directory, look for the file named “product.liquid.” Copy this file into your theme and add the following code:
{% if product.available == false %}
