Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSet a minimum stock level for each product variant at each location, or apply rules by collection. When online stock drops to that number, the add-to-cart button is blocked so the last units stay reserved for in-store customers, wholesale orders, or as a buffer against inventory sync delays. Get email alerts before you run out, either instantly or as a daily, weekly, or monthly report.
Don't lose sales or credibility when an item goes out of stock before you notice. Low Stock Alerts solves this problem by notifying you any time a product falls below your specified stock level. You'll get daily emails about all low stock items and optionally instant email alerts as soon as a product goes below the threshold.
