Trying to make it so that if stock exceeds 8 in stock it shows 8+ in the stock available on the product, is there an easy way to do this?

Hi @HVTS :waving_hand: if the product has a single variant just check the first ones inventory_quantity amount in some liquid logic.

To show it in some themes use a custom-liquid block on the product templates main section for the product information.

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/variant#variant-inventory_quantity

If the product has multiple variants with differing inventory that can be an advanced theme customization to update the theme when customers select different variants.

If you need this customization then contact me for services

ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

If the stock already shows up in the product page, then changing how it will look if stock exceeds 8 will be easy. You just need to add a liquid conditional.
Currently, here is how your code will look:

Stock levels: {{ variant.inventory_quantity }}

You’ll need to change it into:

{% assign current_stock = variant.inventory_quantity %}
Stock levels: 
{% if current_stock >= 8 %}
 8+
{% else %}
 {{ current_stock }}
{% endif %}
