Product availability in OpenCart: Show customers that you are always in stock
Are you the owner of an online store on OpenCart and want to increase sales? Then you need to pay attention to such an important aspect as displaying product availability. After all, customers want to know whether the desired product is in stock in order to make a purchasing decision. 🛒
Problems and misconceptions of online store owners
Many online store owners underestimate the importance of displaying product availability. They believe that customers will buy the product anyway if they need it. But in fact, the lack of availability information can lead to the following problems:
- 😕 Customers go to competitors who have the desired product in stock
- 🛒 The number of abandoned carts increases
- 📉 Conversion and sales decrease
- 😞 Customer experience and store loyalty deteriorate
Therefore, it is so important to correctly configure the display of product availability in your online store on OpenCart.

How availability information influences purchasing decisions
Put yourself in the customer's shoes. You found the product you need in an online store, but you don’t know if it is in stock. What will you do? Most likely, you will look for this product from competitors who have information about availability.
According to statistics, 72% of customers are not ready to wait for goods to arrive and go to competitors if the desired product is not in stock.
Therefore, displaying product availability directly influences the purchasing decision. Customers want to be sure that they will receive their order quickly and without delays. If they see that the product is in stock, they are more likely to make a purchase.
Availability information also reduces cart abandonment. After all, customers will not add a product to their cart or place an order if they are not sure of its availability.
- 🌟 Example: In the Fashionista online store, the number of available units is indicated for each product. Customers see how many sizes and colors are left and can make purchasing decisions faster.
