4- If you do dropshipping or your inventory is not synced with Shopify, then change your inventory source to "Not using Shopify for inventory management" option. By doing so, you can set your min and max stock level across your store only for our app.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
This does not affect your inventory settings in Shopify Admin at all.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

5- You can apply the counter on specific product/collections or all products in the app. Moreover, you can also exclude or include the selected products while displaying the app.&#x20;

6- The app could be applied to collection pages too.&#x20;

7- Under the Visibility & Rules Settings, there is an option to hide stock level or change the stock level color.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Just select "Hide the stock level in low stock message"
{% endhint %}

8- There is another section called Custom CSS if you want to adjust the space around the app like:

```
margin-top:0px !important;
```
