Show badges by inventory stage

Learn how to show badges by inventory stage with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. A badge slot can define Normal, Low stock, and Sold out variants. The storefront renders one stage for the current stock state, so test all three states.

Before you begin

  • Enable storefront rendering and identify the product-card layouts to test
  • Choose text or image artwork
  • Prepare Normal, Low stock, and Sold out messaging when stages are used

Keep the campaign in Draft while you verify the configuration. Use a private storefront window where the guide changes shopper-facing behavior.

Step-by-step setup

Show badges by inventory stage shown in the Badgy admin, with numbered callouts for the controls and verification points described below.

  1. Choose a badge slot and configure its Normal stage.
  2. Add or edit Low stock and Sold out stage badges as needed.
  3. Set each stage's content/art independently rather than assuming styles copy.
  4. Preview products with normal, low, and zero inventory.
  5. Remove an unwanted stage or save and verify inventory transitions on storefront.

Juniper & Trail example

Juniper & Trail applies show badges by inventory stage to the Ridgeway Waxed Field Jacket. The team checks a bright lifestyle image, a dark pack shot, collection cards, and the product page. The documentation fixture uses realistic products, inventory states, variants, collections, and protected exclusions so the preview exercises the same decisions as a merchant catalog.

What shoppers will see

  1. Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action at the top of the store.

  2. Check the badge and adjusted pricing on an eligible product card.

  3. Compare another product card to verify consistent campaign treatment.

  1. Confirm the campaign announcement and Shop call to action fit the mobile header.

  2. Check that the badge remains readable on the mobile product card.

  3. Scroll through additional products to verify the collection layout stays usable.

The badge overlays eligible product media. Its final size and crop depend on the theme's product-card and media containers. Check the relevant result from product through cart where applicable. For shopper-facing work, compare desktop and mobile and verify both an eligible and an ineligible item.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

  • Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Show badges by inventory stage.
  • Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
  • Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
  • Checking only one viewport. Verify desktop and mobile in a private storefront window.

If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.

Options reference

| Option | Use it when | Consequence | | --- | --- | --- | | Normal | Regular eligible inventory | Default stage | | Low stock | Inventory below configured behavior | Can use urgency copy | | Sold out | No sellable stock | Avoid discount promises |

Badgy behavior in this guide is reviewed against the repository's shipped UI, service rules, and feature design documents. Shopify-owned theme, Markets, Flow, billing, and discount behavior can also depend on the store's Shopify configuration; consult the Shopify Help Center for that platform configuration.
