How do I make it show that it is added to the shopping cart when the inventory is 0?

Hello, @dada2023,

In WordPress WooCommerce websites, the absence of an “Add to Cart” button when the product inventory is at 0 is a standard behavior. This is a feature designed to prevent customers from being able to purchase products that are currently out of stock. It helps to manage customer expectations and avoids the inconvenience of allowing customers to add products to their carts that cannot be fulfilled due to insufficient inventory.

When the product inventory reaches 0, WooCommerce typically automatically hides the “Add to Cart” button, making it unavailable for users to click.

This behavior can be helpful for both the store owner and the customers. It helps the store owner to manage their inventory effectively and ensures that customers are not disappointed or frustrated by attempting to purchase products that are temporarily unavailable.

We kindly request you to refer to the official WooCommerce documentation for managing products at the following link: https://woocommerce.com/document/managing-products/#product-data

If you want to change this behavior and still allow customers to add products to their carts even when the inventory is at 0, you need to use additional plugins or custom coding to override the default WooCommerce settings.

Best Regards,
