Install on ShopifyLow-stock urgency block for Shopify

Frequently asked
Is the count real or a fake urgency timer?
It's real. The block reads the variant's actual Shopify inventory and only renders when stock is genuinely below your threshold. Modulo does not ship fake counters or fabricated scarcity.
What happens when stock is high?
Nothing shows. The block stays hidden until inventory drops below the threshold you set, so shoppers only ever see an accurate low-stock message.
Does it track inventory per variant?
Yes. The message reflects the inventory of the currently selected variant, so a low-stock size or color shows its own real count.
