How it sells itself

Delivery Countdown shows the time left before your order cut-off and the estimated delivery date on the product page. Drop shows a countdown before a sold-out item is back in stock and, with the optional Email alerts, emails subscribers as soon as their variant returns. Urgency Stock Badge shows the real stock of the selected variant ("Only 3 left in stock").

Kernvel Back in Stock helps you capture demand when products sell out and bring shoppers back when inventory is available again. Add a simple back-in-stock signup to sold-out products, automatically notify customers when their selected variant is restocked, and show genuine low-stock urgency based on your live inventory. See which products shoppers are waiting for so you can make smarter restocking decisions.

Key points
  • Delivery countdown: time left before the cut-off and the estimated delivery date
  • Restock drops: a countdown announces the restock and locks buying until then
  • Back-in-stock emails: subscribers are notified as soon as their variant returns
  • Stock per variant: "Only 3 left in stock" on the selected variant
  • Back-in-stock alerts: Let shoppers sign up for a restock notification
  • Low-stock urgency: Show “Only {qty} left!” based on your actual inventory
  • Most-wanted restock list: See which products have the highest demand
  • Customizable emails, CSV export : Export your waiting list and demand data
