What's the best way to communicate limited stock availability?

As an e-commerce store owner, I'm struggling to effectively communicate product scarcity to my customers without seeming manipulative. I want to create genuine urgency that motivates purchases without feeling like a cheap sales tactic. My goal is to transparently show real-time inventory levels in a way that builds trust, encourages quick decisions, and doesn't come across as pushy or artificial. How can I design stock availability messaging that feels authentic and drives conversions?
