# How to add urgency elements: stock counter, live visitors, delivery timer

Add the **Custom Stock**, **Live Visitors**, **Product Rush Element**, **Product Stock Status** and **Delivery Timer** blocks from **Add Blocks** to your product page or landing page. Each has its own settings for the numbers and text it shows.

## Steps

1. Open **Online Store → Theme Settings** → page selector → **Product**, or open a landing page from **Landing Pages**. Click the **+** icon (**Add Blocks**).
2. **"Only X left" counter** — add **Custom Stock** (2 designs). Edit **Title** (default "Hurry! Only [stock] left — selling fast!", keep `[stock]` where the number goes), **Min** (1) and **Max** (10). The number comes from that range, not from your real inventory.
3. **Real stock label** — add **Product Stock Status**. Under **Inventory statuses** set **Label**, **Background Color** and **Text Color** per status (In Stock, Low Stock, Out of Stock). This one follows tracked inventory.
4. **People viewing now** — add **Live Visitors** (3 designs). Edit **Title** (default "Popular item! [visitors] people are viewing this now"), **Min**, **Max**, icon and colours.
5. **Cart / sales activity** — add **Product Rush Element**. Choose **Message Type** (**Cart Activity Only**, **Sales Activity Only**, **Both (Auto-Switch)**), then **Cart Threshold**, **Sales Threshold**, **Sales Period (Hours)** and **Auto-Switch Timing**. Edit the templates ("Hurry! Over (X) people have this in their carts", "(X) sold in last (Y) hours"), pick an **Emoji** or **SVG** icon, colours and animation.
6. **Estimated delivery date** — add **Delivery Timer** (2 designs). Set **Min days**, **Max days**, **Count type** (**Calendar days** / **Business days**), **Cut-off time (HH:mm)** (default 14:00), **Skip weekends**, **Custom date format** and **Custom text** (default "Buy today and receive between"). The second design is a 3-step timeline (Ordered → Order Ready → Delivered) with icon, label and date range per step.
7. Click **Save** and check the page is **Published**.

## Common problems

- The stock counter does not match my inventory → **Custom Stock** shows a number from your Min–Max range; for real quantities use **Product Stock Status** with inventory tracking on.
- The delivery date lands on a weekend → set **Count type** to **Business days** and turn on **Skip weekends**.
- The rush message never appears → activity must pass the thresholds; lower **Cart Threshold** / **Sales Threshold** or choose **Both (Auto-Switch)**.
- The number is missing from my text → keep the `[stock]` or `[visitors]` placeholder in **Title**.
