Low stock counter

[ewancastle]

I'm looking to implement a low stock string on a product template and basically need to know if it's achievable.

I've been digging through if statements and have found that I can use variant.inventory_quantity.

The code i've put in is as follows but doesn't fire:

{% if variant.inventory_quantity > 20 %}
<p> Low stock</p>
{% else %}
  In stock
{% endif %}

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance

Hi @ewancastle 

Have you checked if your theme has an Inventory status block?

Or you can try to use this code. 

{%- if product.selected_or_first_available_variant.inventory_quantity > 0 -%}
{%- if product.selected_or_first_available_variant.inventory_quantity < 20 -%}
<p>Low stock</p>
{%- else -%}
<p>In stock</p>
{%- endif -%}
{%- endif -%}

I did try this initially, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work in my theme.

What theme are you using for your store? Could you share your store URL so I can check?

Hi Ewan, 

This is definitely achievable, we use this in one of our themes. 

Try using 

 {% if first_available_variant_qty => 20 %}​

You would also need to ensure this is placed in the relevant section where variant data can be accessed.

Hope that helps!
