Low Stock Alert in Checkout

Technical Q&A
,

Topic summary

A user updated to the latest Showtime theme version and encountered an unwanted stock alert notification appearing below each product in the cart. The alert appears to be triggered by the theme’s low stock threshold feature, which cannot be disabled or set below 1.

Core Issue:

  • Store sells preloved items with inventory set to 1 unit each
  • Alert disappears when inventory is increased to 20, but this workaround isn’t viable for their business model
  • Theme customizer doesn’t provide an option to disable this feature

Suggested Solution:

  • Edit the Liquid/JavaScript code in the cart template to remove the alert
  • Specific code location cannot be identified without access to the actual theme files

Status: Unresolved - requires custom code modification to disable the feature.

Hi guys! I just updated to the newest version of Showtime theme and I can’t get rid of an alert / notification on the cart that shows below each product in the cart. It seems it has something to do with the Stock alert / Low stock threshold from the theme, but I can’t find where to deactivate it or set it to zero. The lowest value allowed is 1, but all of our inventory is set to 1 as we are a preloved store.

I made some tests setting an item inventory to 20 and the alert goes away, but this doesn’t really help. I need to get rid of it.

Hi Hperezs,

If you can’t change this in Shopify Customizer, you could do it by editing liquid/Javascript related to the cart template.

It’s hard to point to the proper place without seeing the actual code.
