# Inventory Status

## What is the Inventory Status?

It displays the current stock of product so that customers know when a product is almost sold out and they should buy quickly because they might lose the chance otherwise.

Imagine a customer wants the item but isn’t in a hurry today. So they add it to their cart to avoid forgetting, and they plan to buy later because there seems to be plenty. But a few days later, they return and see a notice saying only a few pieces remain, and the item will sell out any day. If they don’t buy now, there won’t be any left.

Therefore, the low-stock warning does its job and encourage an immediate purchase. The fear of missing out hits their mind and drives them to act before someone else buys. Time is running out, and there is no room for second thoughts.

If you combine this feature with a countdown timer or a discount code, the impact multiplies greatly.
