Users are seeking to display low inventory warnings (e.g., “ONLY X LEFT”) on product pages in Shopify’s Dawn theme, specifically when stock falls below 5 units.
Initial Solution:
product.variants.first.inventory_quantity < 5 and displays the countKey Refinements:
{% if product.variants.first.inventory_quantity < 5 and product.variants.first.inventory_quantity > 0 %}Ongoing Issues:
Alternative: HeyMerch app suggested for variant-based inventory display, though the custom code solution remains the primary focus.
Hi everyone,
I would like to display the number of units left in stock on product pages when inventory <5 : “ONLY X LEFT.”
I have sizes variants, no color.
I would like it to be :
positioned between the sizes options and the “add to cart” button as in the pink bubble bellow
in #D0DF00 font color
same size than the “add to cart”
Is it possible ? Thank you so much!

You can try to follow this guide, but apply it for the Dawn theme: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/themes-by-shopify/vintage-themes/customizing-vintage-themes/show-remaining-quantity
I would like to give you the solution. You can try it by following these steps:
Step 1: Go to Online Store → Customize theme
Step 2: Go to Product page → product information → add block → custom liquid
Step 3: Paste this code to the block :
{% if product.variants.first.inventory_quantity < 5 %}
ONLY {{ product.variants.first.inventory_quantity }} LEFT
{% endif %}
Step 4: Move this block to the after “Buy button.”
Step 5: Enjoy !!!

Hi @BSS-Commerce ,
Once again, thank you, this is amazing. Only thing, I don’t want it to show if inventory = 0, because then it displays “only 0 left”, I don’t need this information since there is already the “sold out”.
Can we change the parameter to 0<x<5 ? Thank you so much !
Hi @BSS-Commerce ,
any chance you could kindly check the little issue mentioned bellow? Thank you !!

Please follow these steps:
{% if product.variants.first.inventory_quantity < 5 and product.variants.first.inventory_quantity > 0 %}
ONLY {{ product.variants.first.inventory_quantity }} LEFT
{% elsif product.variants.first.inventory_quantity < 1 %}
SOLD OUT
{% endif %}
I hope that it works for you.
That works great, thanks!
I’ve tried to do this same trick one level higher, in the product grid, but no luck 
Is there a way to already show low stock indicators in the collections and other product grids?
Hello, I try to add the code, but the value doesn’t change when I switch to another variant.
Hi @jayisrael ,
You can try HeyMerch low stock counter app, it shows the value based on variants.
This code is not working anymore… nothing appears. Do you have any idea how to fix it ? I’m still looking to display low inventory “ONLY XX LEFT” for variants < 3 units left.
Hello BSS_Commerce
I am using the native low-stock indicator in the Dawn Theme. Please see attached screenshot: when a variant is out of stock, this is already displayed which is great.
All I want to change is to for the low-stock indicator to show when there is 1 left only. How can I change just this?
Thanks.
So sorry. The option is right there in the theme customiser…
Hello!
How would you write it to show nothing if count = 0? (aka item is sold out)
