Add to cart button not showing when item is out of stock

Topic summary

Issue centers on the Yanka theme (ThemeForest) hiding the Add to Cart button when product inventory is 0. A screenshot was shared to illustrate the behavior, which appears central to understanding the problem.

One participant notes this behavior is likely expected for out‑of‑stock items. This implies the theme (or typical Shopify settings) prevents checkout when stock is unavailable.

Another participant asks whether the goal is to enable pre‑orders or allow purchases with zero inventory (backorders). Pre‑order means customers can order before restock; allowing orders at inventory “0” lets purchases proceed despite no stock.

No fix or change was decided. The thread is open pending clarification from the original poster about desired functionality. Next step: define whether to implement pre‑order or enable ordering when out of stock, which would guide theme or settings adjustments.

That`s how it is supposed to be, no?

Hey @Mirakia_Inc are you trying to add per-order functionality or want to allow customer to place orders even if the inventory is “0”?
