product selection
Target products by inventory or price
Learn how to target products by inventory or price with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. Inventory and price conditions are evaluated from current variant data. A product may enter or leave the result as stock and prices change.
Before you begin
- Organize Shopify titles, tags, vendors, types, collections, and inventory
- Identify products or variants that must never change
- Know whether future catalog items should join automatically
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
Choose all products, rules, collections, or a hand-picked selection.
Define the matching condition used to keep the selection current.
Confirm the number of matching products before continuing.
Inspect matching products, variants, and original prices in the preview.
- Choose Conditions for a product-level scope where appropriate, or open Variant targeting for variant price/inventory rules.
- Choose Variant price, Compare-at price, or Variant inventory level.
- Select Greater than, Less than, or the operator offered for that field.
- Enter a numeric value in the shop's base catalog context.
- Refresh Preview after inventory or price changes and before every recurring launch.
Inventory and price conditions are evaluated from current variant data. A product may enter or leave the result as stock and prices change.
Juniper & Trail example
Juniper & Trail uses target products by inventory or price to include trail-ready products while protecting the Old Growth Logo Tee and sold-out variants with explicit exclusions. 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
Only resolved variants receive campaign behavior; mixed products can show different variant prices or eligibility on the same product page. 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 Target products by inventory or price.
- 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.
- Skipping the consequence check. Confirm what changes for shoppers and what the end or restore path will do.
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.
