Yes, Webflow can be used to create a feature where a product's visibility is based on its quantity left. By using dynamic content and conditional visibility settings in Webflow, you can easily display "out of stock" over the image for products that are out of stock. Here's how you can achieve this:

Create a collection in Webflow to represent your products. Each product in the collection should have a field to indicate its stock quantity.
Design a product template page in Webflow, which will be used to display individual product details.
Insert an image element on the product template page and select the image you want to display for each product.
Overlay a text element on top of the image, containing the text "Out of stock". You can style this text element to have a contrasting color, bold font, or any other visual indication to make it prominent.
Select the text element and go to the Style panel. Set its "Display" property to "None". This will hide the text element initially.
In the Navigator panel, select the image element and go to the Settings panel. Click on the "+" icon next to "Add Field" to add a new field binding.
Choose the field that represents the stock quantity for the product. Let's assume it's called "stockQuantity".
Now select the text element again, and go to the Settings panel. Under "Conditional Visibility", enable the option to show the element when the "stockQuantity" field is equal to 0.
Save and publish your changes.
When you populate your product collection, make sure to enter the correct stock quantity for each product. Whenever the stock quantity is 0, the "Out of stock" text element will be displayed over the product image on the product template page.

This way, using Webflow's dynamic content and conditional visibility settings, you can easily create a feature where a product's visibility is based on its quantity left, such as displaying "out of stock" over the image for products that are out of stock.
