How to setup

There are three basic steps needed for the inventory countdown to appear correctly:

Steps

• Enable inventory tracking in your product setup. The low inventory message is triggered if a product has 10 items or less available.

• Turn on the setting in the Product form block for the default product template or any product template in use. This feature requires Broadcast 3.2.0 or higher.

• Optional - Customize the message in the Language Editor.

Use the Track quantity option in your Product setup and set an available value:
