Frequently Asked Questions
When you install Inventory Stock Status, we inject a minimal JavaScript code to your store-front. When a product detail page loads in your user's browser, this script will request an API call to determine stock status for the product and variant selected. It will then render the stock status text based on your customizations. That's it. We don't use any other information than the stock information.
See this guide starts with how to access to your app settings and ways to customize: How to customize stock labels displayed on your store
We only track one behavior about your user, if they loaded a product page and if they change any of the variants selections, then we request stock information again and render the selected variant's stock information. This information is not stored in anywhere, only tracked real-time on their browser and helps us to determine the correct stock detail about their selection. No other information is tracked about your users.

Settings are cached for a quick period of time, so it may not reflect it right away if you already opened a product detail page. You can wait for a few minutes and refresh the page, or visit another product that you haven't visited in the last few minutes, the stock status will load then disappear if you are only showing single label, or if you are displaying stock labels for each location, the location that will have "high stock" status will be excluded from the list of locations, while keeping rest of the locations with low or out of stock statuses.
In more technical terms; we cache
- the general application settings (i.e: where to display the label, custom labels, and other options) for 5 minutes
- the inventory label for a specific product, for 30 seconds
We launched a new feature call "Admin Preview Mode" which enables a temporary session for Store Admins to be able to see changes instantly, without cache. To start a new Admin Preview Mode session, click "Start an Admin Preview Session" in the app admin UI:
As you use more complex combinations of options, like "hide out of stock locations", "show only location", or your inventory management for your products in Shopify gets more fragmented, it can get more difficult to understand how your status labels get rendered in your store using our app.
To help our users, we released a feature called Admin Preview Mode.
With this feature, you can browse your site in an Admin-only enabled Preview session that shows an EXPLAIN button next to your stock labels that opens a popup with detailed information and steps taken for the inventory label app until it determined what to show in your product pages. This is how the admin preview mode shows the Explain button:

Yes, you can control show/hide bullet point, as well as customize the symbol used for bullet point when showing multiple locations. See the release note about this change showcases how to change this setting.
