See every featureLosing money on products that sit unsold for months? IdleStock reads your catalog and recent orders and lists every product with stock but no sales in your chosen window (30 or 60 days): your dead stock, slow-moving and aging inventory. It shows how much cash is tied up in that excess stock and gives each item a clear next step: discount, bundle or remove. The first scan starts on its own after install.
StockAge Alerts watches your sales history and flags any product that still has stock but hasn't sold in more days than the threshold you choose. Instead of digging through reports to spot products tying up money on your shelves, you get a single table inside your Shopify admin showing exactly what's not moving, sorted by how long it's been sitting.
- Automatic dead stock detection with customizable day thresholds
- Real-time capital analysis showing money tied in unsold products
- Smart suggestions for each product: discount, bundle, or remove
- Configurable "days without a sale" threshold, applied across your catalog
- One table showing every slow-moving product across all your locations
- Sort and filter by location to see what's tying up money fastest
- Jump straight to any product's edit page from the alerts table
