Smart Badge Manager for Product Status Tags
The Opportunity
An app that automatically displays custom badges such as Coming Soon, Preorder, Backorder, Limited Drop, or Sold Out based on product tags, inventory, or publishing state. Merchants can create badge rules and style them without editing theme code.
"The merchant needs a Coming Soon badge to appear on products tagged 'coming-soon' in a Horizon theme, alongside existing Sold Out behavior."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Offer rule-based badge creation and display for product cards and product pages, with conditions based on tags, inventory, collections, vendor, metafields, or availability. Include badge styling controls and theme integration so custom badges coexist with default sold-out labels.
Target Audience
Merchants launching products in stages, managing prelaunch inventory, or needing better merchandising labels on product listings.
Competitive Landscape
Product badge apps, preorder apps with badge features, merchandising label apps
Implementation Notes
Create a theme app extension that renders badges on product cards and PDPs using conditional logic tied to tags and metafields. Support badge precedence rules so custom badges can override or coexist with sold-out badges, plus per-theme styling and placement controls for Horizon and other OS 2.0 themes.
