Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureThe app is designed for merchants who want to maximize sales opportunities by recovering lost sales through restock alerts and preorders. This app simplifies inventory management with automated notifications and customizable campaigns, helping you engage customers and drive sales. Whether you're launching a new product or restocking popular items, it keeps customers informed and ready to purchase.
Tired of apps that fail silently on a big restock, or charge a cut of your pre-order revenue? Restocker is built differently. Shoppers join a waitlist and get an automatic email the moment you restock. Pre-orders use native Shopify selling plans, so Shop Pay cannot oversell you. Every notification writes to a permanent delivery log: not just "sent" but actually delivered.
- Back-in-stock alerts: automatic email the moment inventory returns
- Pre-orders via native selling plans, with no oversells at checkout
- Delivery log: permanent proof of every notification and its status
- No theme code edits: widgets install as clean theme app extension blocks
