It would be great to have two additional options in the ‘Allow Backorder?’ setting.

1. ‘Allow – notify customer when low stock’ > this is helpful for stores where customers often order multiples of the same product. E.g., the low stock threshold is set to 2 but customers often order 4-5 of the same item. It would tell the customer that they can still place the order but they can only get 2 right now and the rest will be delivered later.

2. ‘Allow – notify customer when out of stock’ > this is helpful for stores where customers usually only purchase 1 of each item. Many stores want to display how many items are in stock, or display how many items are in stock when the stock is low, but it’s confusing to their customers when it says ‘2 in stock (can be backordered)’ when it’s not a product people order multiples of anyways. Having an option to only display the backorder message when the product is actually out of stock would reduce that imbiguity.
