How to add an out of stock message in the shopping cart?

Technical Q&A
1

Hi

I was able to figure out how to add an out of stock - when due back in message to the product page when still selling by using the inventory transfer.

However the code below doesnt seem to work on the cart page. I would love to remind the customer the expect date for new stock at the cart stage incase they have added other items to the cart that are in stock. I assume the cart isn’t able to pull the inventory as written below. Can anybody help to set this up on the cart page please?

{% assign out_of_stock = false %} {% for variant in product.variants %} {% if variant.inventory_quantity == 0 %} {% assign out_of_stock = true %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% assign variant_incoming = false %} {% for variant in product.variants %} {% if variant.incoming == true %} {% assign variant_incoming = true %} {% assign variant_incoming_date = variant.next_incoming_date | date: "%a, %b %d, %Y" %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% if out_of_stock == true and variant_incoming == true %}

Currently Out-of-stock. Expected restock {{ variant_incoming_date }} subject to change

{% endif %}

Thanks

Hi @justdavenow ,

Please follow the steps:

  • Step 1: Please change code:

                  {% assign out_of_stock = false %}
                  {% if item.variant.inventory_quantity == 0 %}
                    {% assign out_of_stock = true %}
                  {% endif %}
                  {% assign variant_incoming = false %}
                  {% if item.variant.incoming == true %}
                    {% assign variant_incoming = true %}
                    {% assign variant_incoming_date = item.variant.next_incoming_date | date: "%a, %b %d, %Y" %}
                  {% endif %}
                  {% if out_of_stock == true and variant_incoming == true %}
                    

Currently Out-of-stock. Expected restock {{ variant_incoming_date }} subject to change

                  {% endif %}
  • Step 2: Add it inside the ‘for cart.items’ of the cart page:
