What is the (P) Stock Counter element?
The (P) Stock Counter element provides you a way to display your product’s remaining stock in the form of a visualized progress bar. When done right, this element can help trigger FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and help you earn more sales.

The element’s configurations will be available on the left sidebar, which we’ll cover in the next sections.
