E-commerce stores choose to show remaining quantity of products to inform customers how many are remaining in inventory, especially if the quantity is lower than a specific lower limit. This can be difficult if products have multiple variation. Suppose a product i.e. shirt you are selling in different colors, it will be difficult for you to display remaining quantity of each color.

Be sure to add product variations before saving the product.
While creating product variations, mark checkbox as checked having label “Manage Stock?” and also set stock quantity.
