See every featureStockouts happen silently. Customers can't buy what's out of stock, so you lose revenue without realizing it. Low Stock Alerts Pro fixes this by sending real-time notifications the moment your inventory drops below your set threshold. You control when alerts arrive (quiet hours), where they go (email, SMS, or WhatsApp), and can reorder directly from the alert.
SimpleStock turns Shopify inventory into actionable insights — no Shopify POS Pro required. See days of stock left for every product based on real sales velocity, get reorder alerts (when + how many to order, with vendor lead times factored in), and catch dead stock tying up cash. Weekly or daily digest emails keep you ahead of stockouts. Multi-location compatible.
