I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE
Topic summary
Main issue: Several sellers noticed inventory counts changing from black to red and asked if it indicates a store problem.
Key findings/working explanation:
- One participant reports red appears when at least one product variant (a specific option like size/color) is out of stock.
- Another notes it seems designed to highlight low stock: items around 10 show in black, lower quantities switch to red. This applies to both individual products and their variants in the admin.
Requests and confirmations:
- A moderator asked where the red appears (product page vs. admin) and requested a screenshot for clarity; no screenshot was provided.
- The original poster acknowledged the explanation as helpful.
Open items/unanswered questions:
- How to adjust the threshold so counts only turn red when 1–2 units remain is unresolved; no setting or method was confirmed in the thread.
Status: Informational consensus that red indicates low or out-of-stock status, but configuration options (threshold control) remain unanswered; discussion appears ongoing.
