We’re excited to introduce Indicator Animations, a new feature that allows store owners to replace static emoji labels with professionally designed animated indicators that enhance the visual appeal and user experience of stock labels.
🎨 Choose from 6 Animation Types
Select from a variety of pre-designed animations that add life to your stock labels:
- Pulsing Circle - Circle that scales and changes opacity
- Ripple Circle - Static circle with expanding ripple effect
- Heartbeat Circle - Irregular opacity changes mimicking heartbeat
- Bouncing Dot - Gentle up/down bouncing motion
- Rotating Asterisk - Spinning star symbol
- Breathing Square - Scale up/down like breathing
🖱️ Easy Selection with Live Previews
When customizing your labels, simply click on the indicator selector to open a modal showing live previews of each animation. This makes it easy to see exactly how each animation will look before selecting it.
⚙️ Flexible Control
- Per-Status Configuration: Choose different animations for high stock, low stock, and out-of-stock states
- Mix and Match: Combine animated indicators with non-animated ones as needed
- Color Consistency: Animations use consistent green/orange/red color coding for different stock levels
- Performance Optimized: Self-contained CSS animations that don’t conflict with your theme
🛍️ Enhanced Shopping Experience
For your customers, animated indicators provide:
- Instant Visual Recognition: Animations immediately draw attention to stock status
- Better Mobile UX: Small animated icons are easier to spot than text on mobile devices
- Reduced Cognitive Load: Color + animation patterns create faster recognition
- Professional Feel: Polished animations make your store feel more modern and trustworthy
The animations are completely self-contained with unique prefixes to prevent conflicts, ensuring they work reliably across all Shopify themes.
