Low-stock message
Show a short message under the product page picker when the selected variant is running low, for example 🔥 Only 3 left in stock. It uses each variant's real remaining quantity, so the urgency is always honest.

When the message shows
- On product pages only, directly under the swatches.
- For the selected variant, and it updates when the shopper picks another value.

Tip
Use either an Icon or an emoji typed into the message, not both, or the symbol appears twice.
Troubleshooting
- Show a low-stock message is ticked and you clicked Save.
- The message isn't empty.
- The selected variant tracks inventory and its quantity is at or below your threshold, but above zero.
- The product uses the app's picker (see Add swatches to product pages).
