# Honest Stock

> Honest Stock shows low stock counters and Only N left badges on Shopify stores using real inventory, never made-up numbers. $1.99/month, 3-day free trial.

Honest Stock is a Shopify app made by Raat Ranii. Honest Stock shows "Only 3 left" on your Shopify product pages and collection grids, using your real inventory. No timers, no made-up numbers, nothing your shoppers can catch out.

## Pricing
- One plan: $1.99 USD every 30 days, everything included.
- 3-day free trial. Billed through the merchant's Shopify invoice. Cancel anytime.

## Features
- 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.
- See what's running low: Your dashboard lists the products currently showing a counter. Set different thresholds for bestsellers or whole collections.
- Matches your brand: Change the wording, colours, indicator style and stock bar in seconds, without code. Then compare add-to-cart rates on views with the counter against views without it.

## How it works
1. Install and start the free trial: Approve the 3-day trial. Billing goes on your regular Shopify invoice.
2. Add the counter: One click opens your theme editor with the counter on your product page. Save, and it shows whenever stock is at or below your threshold.
3. Turn on collection badges: A second click adds "Only N left" badges to product cards across your store.

## FAQ
### 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.
