Dawn Theme Inventory Status Levels for Continue Selling Items

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

Customizing inventory messaging in the Dawn theme to handle products with “continue selling when out of stock” enabled. The requester wants in-stock items that also allow continue selling to avoid low-stock notices (e.g., “only 3 left”) and instead display a generic high-availability message like “We have more than 100 available,” while keeping accurate stock levels for products that do not allow continue selling.

Key points:

  • Dawn has no built-in option to conditionally alter inventory messages based on the continue selling setting.
  • Achieving this requires theme code customization (likely in product templates/blocks handling inventory status).
  • A developer recommended contacting the theme developer and offered custom development services.

Clarification: “Continue selling” lets products be sold even when inventory is at or below zero.

Status: The requester asked for specific code and where to place it; no code was provided yet. The discussion remains open with no implemented solution.

Hi,

I want stock information to display differently for products that are on continue selling. I can change the text for items that are out of stock and on continue selling but it’s items that are in stock and on continue selling I’m having difficulty with. If for example we only have 3 left in stock but the item is on continue selling, I don’t want to display we only have 3 in stock. I’d like to change this to display a message such as ‘We have more than 100 available’. I still want correct stock levels to show for items that are not on continue selling.

Hi @GemmaCC ,

By default, the Dawn theme does not include an option to customize the display message. I recommend reaching out to the theme developer for assistance with customizing your theme according to your requirements. I’m also a theme developer if you want i can create this.

I was hoping someone might be able to provide some code for this customisation and let me know where to place it.
