Stock Scarcity
The low-stock line reads your product’s own WooCommerce stock quantity. Not a countdown, not a number somebody typed — the figure your inventory already holds.
Built for WordPress · WooCommerce
A LUMÉ demo shelf. One of the three products shows a low-stock line, and it reads the store’s WooCommerce stock quantity, printed beneath it as a stock record. The demo shopper adds one beanie to the cart and the record does not move. Only when the order is paid do the line and the record go from 3 to 2 together, because WooCommerce reduces stock on the order, not on add to cart. The other two products’ counts never change.
LUMÉ is a demo store — these are LUMÉ’s own stock numbers, not a live feed.

Read it as an up-to benchmark for low-stock alerts in general, attributed to Baymard Institute, not as a SalesMax measurement. Your own figure appears per booster in the SalesMax dashboard.

Upsell PopupsWhere it shows
We show it on the single product page, between the price and the Add to cart button. Four parts: three you type, the fourth is your product’s stock.
Click a part of the card — the note below says who writes it.
If you build with a page builder
The widget, the block and the shortcode are SalesMax’s own insertion methods, confirmed by 8theme — this booster’s documentation page does not list them.
The card above is redrawn part for part, and the number in it is your stock. What this page does not try to be is an implementation reference:
Appearance
Heading, badge and message are yours to type. The quantity is not — it comes from the product. The picker is this page’s device, not a plugin preset list.
Minimal — a quiet card: plain heading, hairline rule, one message line. Bar omitted.
The math
A stock line changes how many baskets get finished, store-wide — only genuinely scarce products move it. 400 orders, a 6% lift, a $70 order: 400 × 6% × $70 = +$1,680/mo. Press the keys.
The control room
You configure when the campaign runs and which products it runs on. What you do not configure is the quantity in the sentence: that is already in the product.
Tap the chips — the rule sentence rewrites itself. These are the controls SalesMax gives every booster.
A start and an end, set at campaign level — the booster switches itself on and off.
SalesMax → Sales Boosters → + New Booster, pick the booster type, name it, configure it. It is the same four steps for every one of them.
An activation toggle, a moment the campaign switches itself on and a moment it switches itself off — set at campaign level, the same as every other booster.
Flexible rules based on cart value, product categories, user roles and purchase history — the same condition system every SalesMax booster uses.
The count is your product’s. Which counts read as low is a separate question from where the number comes from — a quantity can be perfectly true while the urgency framed around it is editorial. That is the honest shape of every low-stock alert, this one included, so watch which counts bring the card out on a staging copy before a sale.
The figure in the sentence is your product’s stock quantity, not a copy of it kept inside the booster — nothing to type, nothing to keep in sync. This page claims no live socket and no polling; if refresh timing matters to your store, watch it on a staging copy.
The card carries a filled track under the message. It is not part of this redraw: in the product illustration it sits at roughly 85–90% full while the message says four units remain, so it is not a picture of stock remaining. Dashed and empty here — see the real one on your own store.
The rule, as written up for the Fake Sale Popup: “Filters in SalesMax are additive, not restrictive” — several filters pull anything matching any of them, rather than only what matches all. Confirm the combination you build on a staging copy before it goes near a sale.
Not here. SalesMax does ship simulated urgency, under a different name and with a label on it: the Fake Sale Popup documentation states “No actual customer data is used. All names, products, and times are simulated.” The separation is deliberate, and it is why nothing on this card is invented. The number here is your stock.
FAQ
Yes. The line prints the product’s WooCommerce stock quantity — the same number in the product’s inventory, the one WooCommerce reduces when an order is paid. You never type it into the booster and you never keep a second copy of it in sync: there is nothing in the booster to update when the quantity changes, because the line reads the product’s own number. That is the whole difference between this and a scarcity plugin running a timer.
The line needs a tracked quantity to print. Unlimited stock, stock management switched off, backorders and variable products with per-variation stock all depend on how your own catalogue is put together — try all four on a staging copy of it before a sale.
Not here. The number is your stock quantity, and this booster carries no countdown, no visitor counter and no sold-in-the-last-hour line. Where SalesMax does simulate, it ships under a different name and labels it: the Fake Sale Popup documentation states “No actual customer data is used. All names, products, and times are simulated.” The separation is deliberate.
On the single product page, between the price and the Add to cart button — that is the placement we show it in. The category shelf in this page’s hero demo is our own staging, chosen so you can watch three products at once and see which of them has a count worth reporting. Read it as an illustration, not as a second placement.
From the SalesMax marketing page, which prints “Low-stock alerts can boost conversions by up to 17 (Data by Baymard Institute)”. Read it as an up-to benchmark for low-stock alerts in general, attributed to Baymard Institute, and not as a SalesMax measurement. Your own numbers appear per booster in the SalesMax dashboard.

Stock Scarcity
A number your store already keeps is the most honest reason to decide today. Print it — and every other booster in the suite with it, on every plan, no feature gating, ever.
