Goal: Hide stock counts by default and only display a message when a shopper tries to add more items to the cart than are in stock (example site link provided).
Current capability: This behavior isn’t available natively in Shopify themes; it requires custom coding (not a simple one-line Liquid edit). An app wasn’t recommended by the respondent.
Clarification: The original poster asked if the offer to help was “for free” or “for a fee.” The developer confirmed it would be done for free and is willing to send a collaborator request.
Outcome/next steps: The poster is invited to email the developer to proceed with implementation. No in-thread code or step-by-step solution was shared; resolution will occur off-thread via custom development. Status: pending implementation.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows..
I do not want the stock count to show by default.
I only want the stock number to be shown when a customer attempts to add more than the stock remaining.
Here is a website that does this, when you try to add say 5 items to the cart, it will show a message that says only 3 are available.

thank you in advance
Hey @Loksoon ,
Hope you’re doing fantastic.
You won’t get this functionality native in the theme, and you’ll need to get this custom coded. We can help you with that, for free. Let us know if you’d like us to implement that in your store, we’ll share a collaborator request.
Cheers!

Hi there, thank you for your reply, I just wanted to clarify as I’m reading this part.. you wrote “for free” but I’m assuming you meant to say “for a fee” correct? I’m asking because if this isn’t a simple line addition to one of the liquid files, normally the answer would be to pay for an app.
Hey @Loksoon ,
Definitely it’s not a simple line of code, but we’ll do it for “free” 
Please drop us an email on the ID mentioned below, and let’s start working on this.
Cheers!
