Placements
Product page and Cart page only. Display mode is In Page only (no pop-up or floating).
This type is a storefront widget only, it does not create a checkout product discount.
Artificial stock & compliance
The editor includes optional fake / artificial stock fields for displayed counts and urgency copy. Use accurate inventory when showing real stock. Misleading scarcity can harm trust and may violate consumer rules in your market, prefer real inventory mode when possible.
