Visible Stock Threshold lets you control what customers see and can buy :
- Visible stock cap: If real stock is above the threshold, only the threshold amount is shown/purchasable.
- Strict Mode: If real stock ≤ threshold, the product is Out of Stock (not purchasable).
- Multiple levels: Per-product, per-category, role-based, or global default.
- Custom message: “Only {qty} left in stock” (fully editable).
- Secure limits: Frontend input is capped and server-side validations prevent bypassing limits.
- Variation support , i18n-ready , clean code, no templates overridden.
Precedence: Product > Role > Highest Category > Global.
Why this plugin?
Urgency marketing without lying: keep internal buffer stock while honestly limiting visible/purchasable quantity.
Works with
WooCommerce stock-managed products (simple & variations). If stock management is off, plugin stays out of the way.
