How it sells itself

AlertStock monitors your inventory 24/7 and sends you a daily email when products fall below your custom threshold. No complex dashboards or confusing settings. Just enter your email, set your threshold, and you're done in 30 seconds. Each alert shows your low stock products with current quantities, color-coded urgency levels, and direct links to restock in your Shopify admin.

Real-time stock alerts via Shopify webhooks — no polling, no delays. The moment inventory drops below your threshold, your team gets notified instantly. Alerts are bundled into a digest every 10 minutes instead of flooding your inbox. Set individual thresholds per variant and SKU, configure your whole catalog in one click, and get automatic Stock Reports with sales velocity and days of stock remaining.

Key points
  • Daily email alerts listing all products below your inventory threshold
  • Custom threshold settings - choose when to be alerted (10, 20, 50 units)
  • One-click links to restock products directly in your Shopify admin
  • Color-coded urgency levels show which products need immediate attention
  • Fires instantly via webhook when inventory drops below your threshold.
  • Days of stock remaining based on real sales data. Auto-scheduled reports.
  • Double opt-in & one-click unsubscribe. Lands in inbox, not spam.
  • Per-variant thresholds — set individual alert levels per SKU.

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
