The counter reads your inventory. Sell or restock to see it follow the real number.

Counters on product pages

When a product drops to your threshold, shoppers see how many are left. The number comes from your live inventory and updates as they switch size or colour.

Badges on collection grids

"Only N left" badges on collection pages, search results and home page grids, so low stock is visible before shoppers click.

Questions

Can Honest Stock show a fake or random number?

No. There is no setting for it. Counters only ever show your real Shopify inventory.

What if a product doesn't track inventory?

Then no counter shows for it. The same goes for products set to keep selling when out of stock.

Does it work with my theme?

It works with any theme that supports app blocks (Online Store 2.0). You can change the wording, colours and indicator style without code.

Will it slow my store down?

The counter is a small theme block that reads data Shopify already has on the page. It doesn't load anything from our servers to show the number.

Does it collect shopper data?

No. Analytics are anonymous daily counts of views and add-to-carts. Nothing identifies a shopper.

What happens if I uninstall?

The counter and badges disappear from your store. Your settings and counts are deleted when Shopify sends its data-deletion request.
