Use cases
Built for every kind of store
Whether you run flash sales or slow-moving SKUs, Stock Flash adapts to how you sell — without changing your theme code.
- High urgency
Limited drops & flash sales
When inventory is intentionally scarce, show exact counts so shoppers know they need to act now — not later.
- Multi-variant
Variant-heavy catalogs
Size or color running low? The badge updates per variant so Medium / 3 left and Large / 12 left never get mixed up.
- Inventory turnover
Seasonal & clearance stock
Move last units before they sit on shelves. Set a threshold and let the badge nudge buyers on every product page.
- Brand-safe
Premium & handmade goods
Small-batch products deserve subtle urgency. Use minimal or outline styles that match a refined brand aesthetic.
Motion
Animations that catch attention
Pick pulse, bounce, shake, or glow — or keep it static. Every animation respects reduced-motion preferences on the storefront.
- Only 3 left!
Pulse
Gentle scale rhythm that draws the eye without shouting.
- Only 3 left!
Bounce
Playful vertical motion — great for casual or youth brands.
- Only 3 left!
Shake
Subtle wiggle for high-urgency moments like last few units.
- Only 3 left!
Glow
Soft shadow pulse that feels premium on dark product photos.

Why Stock Flash
Stop leaving urgency on the table
Most stores show static product pages. Stock Flash turns live inventory into a conversion lever — automatically.
Without a low stock badge
- Shoppers don't know stock is low until checkout fails
- Manual "Only X left" text goes stale as inventory changes
- Custom Liquid edits break when you update your theme
- No variant-level urgency — one message for every option
With Stock Flash
- Real-time inventory counts on every product page
- Badge appears only below your chosen threshold
- Theme block install — no developer or code edits
- Updates instantly when shoppers switch variants

Merchant feedback
What store owners are saying
“We added the block in two minutes. Shoppers finally see when a size is almost gone — returns from 'size unavailable' dropped noticeably.”

“The pulse animation on our flash sale badges gets attention without looking spammy. Custom colors matched our brand in one click.”
