Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStocky is no longer available after August 31, 2026. Inventory Guard picks up the part most merchants used it for: knowing when to reorder. It turns your real order history into a demand forecast per product, using sales trends and weekday patterns. Each reorder point covers demand over the supplier lead time, plus safety stock for your demand swings.
Shopify shows your inventory levels — what you have. Restock tells you what to do about it: which products are running low, how many units to order, and when — ranked by urgency, with the projected revenue at risk if you wait. It's not another dashboard to interpret — Restock does the math the way you would on paper, so every recommendation is one you can verify.
- Demand forecast per product, built from your real order history
- Reorder points that account for supplier lead time and demand swings
- Products ranked by urgency with a plain-language reorder plan
- See the revenue at risk if you don't restock in time
- Every SKU ranked by stockout risk, with a clear reorder-now flag
- Suggested reorder quantity that fits your lead time and safety stock
- Reorder-alert emails: a daily or weekly digest of what to reorder
