How it sells itself

When an order is refunded or cancelled, the restock step is sometimes missed, and your counts drift low while stock you have can't sell. CountHound watches every refund and cancellation, restocks what was missed automatically, and records each correction with its reason and the counts before and after. A nightly reconciliation checks every product for unexplained changes.

When you refund an order, Shopify can put the items straight back into sellable inventory — even when they're damaged, lost in transit, or kept by the customer. UnRestock watches every refund and instantly reverses unwanted restocks, so your inventory counts stay honest. No workflows to build, no checkboxes for staff to remember.

Key points
  • Corrects inventory that wasn't restored after a refund or cancellation
  • Logs every check, including clean ones, so the work is visible and auditable
  • Nightly check flags unexplained inventory changes for your review
  • Emails you the moment a correction happens, and a weekly summary of all activity
  • Reverses automatic restocks within seconds of a refund being created.
  • Catches refunds from the admin, other apps, and the API — not just manual ones.
  • Backup polling sweep every 5 minutes, so nothing slips through webhook gaps
  • Activity log shows every reversal with items and quantities
