How it sells itself

Back to Buy helps merchants reconnect with customers by sending notifications when products are restocked. The app integrates with Shopify so customers can request restock alerts directly from product pages. Merchants can personalize email templates, manage customer requests, and view alert activity — all from within the Shopify admin.

When a product is too expensive or sells out, shoppers leave without buying. Pushbells adds a button to your storefront where they name the amount they'd spend, or ask to hear when it's back in stock. The moment you mark it down or restock it, you reach them by email, SMS, web push, and a native mobile app.

Key points
  • Automatically notify customers when sold-out products are available again.
  • Choose from ready-made designs or personalize your own restock emails.
  • Add a “Notify me when available” option directly on product pages.
  • View, filter, and manage customer alert requests from your Shopify admin.
  • Know what every shopper will spend, and win them back to buy.
  • Back-in-stock alerts that bring shoppers back to sold-out products.
  • Reach shoppers across email, SMS, and web push from one place .
  • A native mobile app that delivers alerts straight to shoppers' phones.
