When it comes to product status, it is considered an introduction and grabs the customers’ attention when clicking to see a specific product. However, in Magento 2 Default, the number of stock status is limited in In stock or Out of Stock only. Besides, it does not allow adding more attractive texts or images at the place of stock status, which can contribute to making customers stay still with the product longer.
Understanding those weaknesses, the Mageplaza Custom Stock Status extension was created. It supports store owners to generate unlimited stock status and labels for any products. Thanks to the detailed information about the product visibility, it will enhance customers’ experience significantly.

Why choose the Mageplaza Custom Stock Status extension for your Magento 2 online store?
The functionality to create an unlimited number of Custom Stock Status
With the Custom Stock Status extension by Mageplaza, the stock labels are not restricted in the In stock and Out of stock anymore. It supports the store owner to create multiple stock statuses for products.
Thanks to this feature, online stores can set suitable stock labels based on their purpose and real situation for any specific or group of products they prefer.
Support auto-applying stock status label
Another outstanding function of the Magento 2 Custom Stock Status module is automatically setting the certain stock status label to each item according to the change in the ranges of product quantity.
For instance, if the product quantity is from 1 to 10, the stock status will display “Hurry up! Last items”. Otherwise, if the quantity is less than 1, the stock notification will be auto-changed to ‘In Stock in 5 Days’.
Apply the stock status for all types of products
This extension supports adding stock status to all product types containing:
- Simple Products
- Configurable Products
- Group Products
- Bundle Products
As a result, the stock will be automatically adjusted once customers perform any actions to change particular attributes of a product. For example, the T-shirt Pro red color, size M is almost out of stock. So if customers click to choose this child product, the stock status “Hurry up! Last items” will appear simultaneously.
Display the stock status on different positions
The stock status will be shown in the most common positions on websites, which assure clients to be well notified. There are 4 following pages that allow customers to see the stock status, including:
- Product Listing Page
- Product Detail Page
- Shopping Cart Page
- Product Widget Block
Easily attach beautiful images with labels
In order to beautify and make the stock status label more dynamic and appealing, this plugin assists in uploading the images with ease before filling in the status text for a product.
With these eye-catching images and the stunning display of stock status as well as the whole page, customers’ attention can be attracted dramatically. Moreover, the store admin can freely place the image position either in front of or behind the text.
