Help and setup
Show clear stock messages for the variant your customer selects.
Set up your stock indicator
- Open Green Dot Pulse in your Shopify admin and select the Monthly plan. Shopify shows the charge before you approve it.
- Choose the low-stock threshold, edit the three stock messages and save your settings.
- In Shopify's theme editor, open a product template and add the Green Dot Pulse app block to a section that supports app blocks.
- Move the block to the desired available position, then save the theme. Test in a draft theme first if you want to preview changes before showing them to shoppers.
Where can I place it?
The block is designed for product pages. Available positions depend on your theme. A compatible product-information section may allow it above or below the add-to-cart button, near the price, or below the description. Placement below a product image requires the theme's image area to support app blocks. The app does not add indicators to collection cards, the cart or the homepage.
How are the colours chosen?
- Green: tracked stock is above your low-stock threshold and the variant is available.
- Orange: tracked stock is positive and at or below your threshold.
- Red: tracked stock is zero or negative, or the variant is unavailable. This includes zero stock when the store permits continued selling.
Products without inventory tracking do not display the indicator. The app uses Shopify's inventory information; it does not change stock quantities or enforce purchase limits.
Messages in different languages
Publish your storefront languages in Shopify, then add matching language codes in the app, such as en, nl, de or fr. Enter your own translations and save. The indicator follows the active storefront language. Missing translations fall back to the base language when available, then to your selected default. The app does not automatically translate text; its settings interface is in English.
Animation and previews
Use the animation setting to turn the pulsing dot on or off. The indicator respects the visitor's reduced-motion preference. The preview quantity in the app only changes the preview; it does not modify product inventory.
The indicator is missing
- Check that the app block has been added and saved on the product's assigned theme template.
- Confirm that Shopify tracks inventory for the selected variant.
- Open the app and check that your subscription is active.
- If it still does not appear, contact support with your theme name and a product-page link.
Billing and removal
The Monthly plan is $5 USD every 30 days, billed through Shopify. Shopify displays any applicable tax or billing adjustments. Development-store tests are shown as free test charges in Shopify. Use Manage subscription in the app to view available plans. Uninstall the app through Shopify when you no longer need it; Shopify manages billing and any applicable remaining charges. Removing a theme block alone does not cancel the app subscription.
