Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAlertStock 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.
Stockouts happen silently. Customers can't buy what's out of stock, so you lose revenue without realizing it. Low Stock Alerts Pro fixes this by sending real-time notifications the moment your inventory drops below your set threshold. You control when alerts arrive (quiet hours), where they go (email, SMS, or WhatsApp), and can reorder directly from the alert.
- 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
- Get instant alerts via email, SMS, or WhatsApp when inventory runs low.
- Set thresholds by quantity or percentage. Customize per product anytime.
- Click reorder links in alerts to order stock from your suppliers instantly.
- Set quiet hours to control when you receive alerts. No alerts at night.
