How to set up product stock status on the frontend?
By default, you get only 2 product stock statuses in the Magento 2 admin panel: in stock and out of stock. Also, you can enable the Only X left message on your Magento 2 storefront when the qty of products gets clothe to the 0. Let’s consider default Magento 2 settings and how you can extend them.
Default Magento 2 product status options
First of all, you need to set up general inventory settings. For this, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration > Catalog > Inventory. Navigate to the Stock Option block and set up the number of items that will enable the Only X left message in the Only X left Threshold field. For example, if you enter 10, the message appears when there are 10 or fewer products in stock. By default, the value is 0, and in this case, the message does not appear at all. To enable In stock or out of stock messages, set yes in the Display products availability in Stock on Storefront field. Save the changes.
To get the change of a certain product stock status, go to Catalog>Products, find the needed product, and click on the Edit button.
Then, find the Source Item Status field and choose In Stock or Out of Stock status. Also, you can set up the Notify Qty field. Enter the number of items in stock that will trigger the out of stock notification. When you are ready, don’t forget to save configurations.
