How it sells itself

Losing 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.

Stock Inventory Manager helps Shopify merchants monitor and manage inventory from one simple dashboard. Track stock levels across products and variants, quickly identify low-stock and out-of-stock items, search and filter inventory, and stay organized with real-time insights. Designed for speed and ease of use, the app helps prevent overselling, improve inventory visibility, and streamline daily stock management.

Key points
  • 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
  • Inventory Management
  • check if products in or out of stock
  • check for all product stock in one place
