Product availability blocks
The Product availability blocks in Seventh: Inventory availability, Pickup availability and Back in stock alert on the product page.
Applies to: Seventh 4.0.0 and later. Added in: Seventh 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-12 against Seventh 4.0.0.
The Product availability blocks tell customers whether the selected variant is in stock and where they can pick it up. They also let customers ask to hear when a sold out product returns.
The three blocks are Inventory availability, Pickup availability and Back in stock alert. They sit inside the Product information block of the Product page section.
Where to find it: Products → Default product → Product page → Product information, then select Add block.
Inventory availability
The Inventory availability block shows one message for the selected variant, based on its stock in Shopify:
- "Only one product left!" when one item is left.
- "Low stock! Only N products left" when the stock is at or below Low inventory threshold.
- "There are N products left" when the stock is above the threshold and Inventory notification is Display always.
- "Temporarily out of stock" when the variant is sold out.
- "This product is out of stock, but you can still order it." when the stock is 0 or less and the variant is set to continue selling when out of stock.
The three colors under Colors set the color of the low stock, regular stock and out of stock messages.
It can create urgency for limited stock or clarify when items are unavailable.
Pickup availability
The Pickup availability block shows local pickup on the product page:
- whether the selected variant can be picked up, and at which location,
- a link that opens a drawer with all pickup locations.
The block shows nothing for sold out variants.
Local pickup is controlled by Shopify, not by Seventh. Turn on local pickup for each location in Shopify admin → Settings → Shipping and delivery → Local pickup, and make sure the location stocks the product. See Shopify Help Center: Setting up pickup in store for online orders.
Back in stock alert
The Back in stock alert block shows an email form when the selected variant is sold out. It was added in Seventh 1.1.0. When a customer submits the form:
- Shopify sends you a contact form email with the Email message, the product title, the variant and the product URL.
- The customer sees the Success message on the product page.
- You email the customer yourself when the product is back in stock.
Note: This block does not handle automatic notifications. When a customer submits the form, the store owner receives an email alert and must manually notify the customer once the product is back in stock.
More advanced functionality can only be achieved through third party apps.
Why is the Inventory availability block not showing?
Because Shopify does not track inventory for that variant, or the stock is above the threshold. Check these in order:
- In Shopify admin → Products, open the variant and make sure Track quantity is on. Variants without inventory tracking show no message.
- Inventory notification: with Display only when inventory falls below threshold, the block shows nothing while the stock is above Low inventory threshold.
- Select the first available variant by default in the Product page section: when it is off, the block appears only after the customer selects a variant.
Why can't I see the back in stock form on my product?
Because the form shows on the storefront only for sold out variants. In the theme editor it is always visible, so you can style it.
Where are back in stock requests sent?
To your store's email address. Shopify sends them as it does for every contact form.
