Why is telling customers about stock remaining items important?

Make customers trust more about the “HOT” level of a product

Let’s imagine that when you are shopping online and you see the label “Hot”, “Bestseller” but have no idea about the availability of products. This definitely makes you feel confused and somehow feel suspicious about the level of “Hot” in these items.

In this case, the message such as “Only 5 items available”, “Hurry up! Only 2 items left” definitely confirm firmly about the popularity of an item.

“HOT” level of a product

As the urging tool to motivate customers quickly make purchases

There is the truth that shoppers tend to rush to collect items when they feel worried other ones will pick all of them. It means that the smaller the item quantity is, the more hurried the shoppers are. Therefore, notifications about the limitation of items will work effectively to motivate the purchasing decision.

Better information, Better purchase plan

When customers are notified about the small availability of their concerned products, they will feel more focused on purchasing plan to get their loved items. They can prepare well about time to order, money to purchase and more.

Professionalize store appearance

Such a simple but significant message to customers is somehow showing professional notification system in a store. Customers can have good experience from such small but meaningful care.

How to set up “Only 2 items left in stock” message

In this article, we will guide you the way to get the Qty left in stock of a particular product in Magento 2. Let’s take an example as “Only 2 items left in stock”.

Please follow these stages:

Stage 1: Configure “Only 2 left”

Step 1: On the Admin Panel, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration
Step 2: On the left panel, go to Catalog > Inventory
Step 3: Enter the number as 2 in the Display X left Threshold field. In the Store View, “Only 2 left” will be shown to the buyer.

Stage 2: Custom the above message to “Only 2 items left in stock”

Follow the path: \vendor\magento\module-catalog-inventory\view\frontend\templates\stockqty\default.phtml

Rewrite by the code below:

<?php if ($block->isMsgVisible()): ?>
<div class="availability only" title="<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Only %1 item(s) left in stock', ($block->getStockQtyLeft())) ?>">
<?= /* @escapeNotVerified */ __('Only %1 item(s) left in stock', "<strong>{$block->getStockQtyLeft()}</strong>") ?>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

Following the stages above, you will get the custom message “Only 2 items left in stock”. However, by Magento default, we can use the above option for simple products since we maintain the inventory for simple products.
