Intro

Nothing drives action quite like scarcity. When shoppers see that a product is almost gone, their hesitation disappears, and they move to buy faster. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Stock FOMO, the newest feature in our Marketing for SureCart addon. With Stock FOMO, you can show real-time stock alerts directly on your product pages, giving customers the nudge they need to act quickly.

What Stock FOMO Does

Stock FOMO isn’t just a low or out-of-stock notice. It’s an engaging visual system for showing limited stock:

• Stock Notices – Display dynamic messages for low stock or sold-out products. Messages are customizable with variables like {stock_quantity} or {product_name} so they feel personal and relevant.
• Badges – Highlight products visually with low-stock or out-of-stock badges. Badges appear on the product page and optionally on shop or archive grids to grab attention at a glance.
• Meter Bars – Show the remaining quantity of a product with a visual meter bar. You can customize labels, appearance, and even animations for low-stock and out-of-stock states, giving shoppers an instant sense of urgency.
• Flexible Shortcodes – Not using the default SureCart product pages? No problem. Place [surelywp_product_stock] anywhere on your site, and choose exactly which elements you want to show like notices, badges, or meter bars.

Why You’ll Love It

Stock FOMO is all about making your store more persuasive without being pushy. It combines clear, actionable messaging with visual cues to encourage faster decisions, reduce cart abandonment, and increase conversions. Whether highlighting a popular product, a fast-selling item, or low inventory, Stock FOMO brings urgency to life in your store.

Use Cases & Inspiration

• Show low-stock messages for limited-edition items.
• Highlight products that are selling fast to create urgency.
• Display out-of-stock messages to clearly communicate availability.
• Use the shortcode to feature stock alerts on landing pages, blog posts, or special promotions.

Getting Started

To enable Stock FOMO, simply go to the Marketing for SureCart dashboard and click the Stock FOMO tab. From there, you can configure which products display notices, badges, or meter bars, set thresholds, and choose colors for each visual element.

What’s Next

Continuing our huge expansion of the Marketing for SureCart, the next upcoming features currently in development or planned include:

• Activity Indicators (already partially secretly released) – Show notices about recent product purchases, current product viewers, and how many people have this product in their cart.
• Scheduled Products – Set precise start and end times for product visibility and purchasing, perfect for launches, promotions, or limited-time offers.
• Wishlist – Let customers save their favorite products to a list. Our original addon is merging with Marketing very soon, with some clever integrations in mind
• Save For Later – Allow customers to save products in their cart for later, just like Amazon does. This encourages customers ot add products to their cart.
• Tracking & Scripts – Add custom scripts or tracking codes sitewide or on specific pages to integrate marketing tools, analytics, and conversion pixels
• Waiting List – Sign up to be notified when a product is not yet available or is scheduled to release (pending release of SureCRM)
• Back In Stock Email Notifications – Alert customers when out-of-stock products become available to drive engagement and sales. (pending release of SureCRM)

This work takes significant development effort, so your support matters more than ever. Every dollar from sales goes back into building more features.
