The product has no Inventory but shows availability - DAWN Theme

Store Design

Topic summary

A merchant on Dawn 15.0.0 set product inventory to 0 to trigger a “Sold out” badge, but the storefront still showed “in stock” (German: “auf Lager”) and allowed visibility of price/add-to-cart, while checkout blocked purchase. Screenshots showed inventory at 0 and “continue selling when out of stock” disabled.

Guidance noted Dawn disables the add-to-cart button by default when items are out of stock. It also suggested checking the “Enable quick add button” theme setting and ensuring “continue selling when out of stock” remains off in product admin.

Outcome: After waiting a few hours, the sold‑out badge appeared automatically. The issue was likely a propagation or caching delay rather than a configuration error.

Status: Resolved; no code changes required. Key settings referenced: “continue selling when out of stock” (should be unchecked) and “Enable quick add button” (optional UI control for collection grid). Images were provided to illustrate admin settings and theme options.

Hi,

I have set my product to 0 inventory to show the sold out badge on the website (in collection and product pages), how ever it does not work. How can I make my badge visible? When you proceed to check out, it says that the product is out of stock, but I want people to see it in the first place instead of the price and instead of being able to add it to the card. I am working with Theme DAWN 15.0.0.

My settings:

product overview it still shows “in stock”, see here, even when product is placed es no inventory.

The option to sell out of stock units is marked as off.

Thanks for your help!

Hello @Florence_4 , In the Dawn theme, If products got out of stock then add to cart button is already get disabled by default in the product grid of the collection and in the product page. In the product grid of the collection page you can enabled “Enable quick add button” from the theme customisation settings. Please see the screenshots below.

Hi @dws_pvt_ltd

thanks for the fast reply, but that it did not answer my issue since to autamtic sold out badge did not work. However, after waiting a few hours the badge is showing now. So I guess it just needs time until it is shown.

Thanks.
