how to turn off "inventory on the way" notice

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Goal: hide the “inventory is on the way” (green dot) message on out‑of‑stock, limited‑run products in the Impulse theme without losing the “Sold out” indicator.

Attempts and findings:

  • Turning off “Track inventory” removes the “Sold out” badge, so it’s not viable.
  • In product-inventory.liquid, comments outline when the incoming inventory message appears (enabled, not in stock, not low inventory, has incoming, or out of stock with continue selling). Code edits flipping conditions to false did not change behavior.

Key technical details:

  • Logic uses block.settings.inventory_transfers_enable, current_variant.incoming, show_low_inventory_message, current_variant.available, and oos_and_continue_selling to set show_incoming_inventory_message.

Suggested solutions:

  • Disable via the product section/block setting “Inventory transfer notice.”
  • For per‑product control, create and assign alternate templates.
  • Temporary workaround: change theme content language to replace “inventory is on the way” with “Out of Stock.”

Status: No confirmed fix yet; the thread remains open. Main unresolved question is how to fully disable the incoming inventory notice while keeping “Sold out,” ideally on a product‑by‑product basis.

I have limited run products that will not be restocked, I need the “inventory is on the way” when out of stock (with the green dot) turned off, asap, any thoughts?

I tried the “track inventory” check box, but that then gets rid of the sold out sign when there is nothing left.

I am using the IMPULSE theme.

I am in the product-inventory.liquid code file, I do not see that exact wording “inventory on the way” but there are some variables in there that could be it, but I don’t dare touch that. Would like to get this resolved asap, hope someone can help. Cheers!

Could it be in here?:

Incoming inventory is only displayed if the following conditions are met:

Inventory transfer notice is enabled

If the product is not in stock

If the product does not have low inventory

If the product has incoming inventory

If product inventory is less than or equal to zero and inventory policy is continue

In other words, if the product has low inventory or in stock, don’t show the incoming inventory message

This should be product section setting or block i.e. “Inventory transfer notice”.

If it is and you just want it off for some products then use alternate templates.

If you need this setup or customized for granular control then contact me directly by email for services.
Please always provide context, examples: post url(s) , store url(product urls), theme name, or any further detail.

I thought I could edit the code snippet below, from the TRUE to FALSE, and that would do it—but I did edit them to FALSE and nothing changed.

if block.settings.inventory_transfers_enable and current_variant.incoming and show_low_inventory_message == false and current_variant.available == false
assign show_incoming_inventory_message = true
endif

if block.settings.inventory_transfers_enable and oos_and_continue_selling
assign show_incoming_inventory_message = true
endif

A temporary fix but you can change edit the default theme content language from “inventory is on the way” to “Out of Stock”
