Real time product updates user experience

Shopify Apps
1

I have a company that wants the user to be able to access live inventory information as things are happening. My understanding is that Liquid queries the database on page load (and caches info), but I haven’t found an intuitive way to create a more live experience for the user that could keep product information up to date for the user as things are changing.

Anyone cross this bridge? I’m open to ideas on solutions.

Possible solution: create a Shopify custom app, get access token with the appropriate scopes, setup an API on a server that fetches data from Shopify using the access token, send requests to the API from the product page, and render the results in html.

That makes sense. I’ll play around with that concept, thanks!
