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.

One low component can stop several kits or gift sets at once. Needly Bundle Stock Alerts watches recipes and component inventory, then warns before capacity reaches zero. Import native Shopify Bundles or map a custom kit. See bundles available, the limiting component, every affected bundle, and the exact restock quantity.

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
  • Map each bundle or kit to up to 100 inventory-tracked components.
  • See Healthy, At Risk, and Broken status from aggregate inventory.
  • Set a separate low-stock threshold for every mapped bundle.
  • Identify the lowest, unavailable, or untracked component.
