How it sells itself

When a product is sold out, many shoppers just leave. Stock Alert gives them a Notify Me button to leave their email instead. It tracks your inventory in the background, and when the item is back in stock, each customer gets a restock alert by email. That way you recover lost sales from out-of-stock products without emailing anyone by hand.

Simple Stock Ping monitors your inventory in real time and sends alerts the moment stock falls below your defined threshold — so you never miss a restock opportunity. Key Features: • Email alerts (via Resend) • Slack & Discord Incoming Webhook notifications • LINE WORKS, Chatwork notifications • Store-wide threshold setting • Per-product threshold overrides

Key points
  • Automatic back-in-stock email alerts when inventory levels increase
  • Customizable "Notify Me" button and subscription form for product pages
  • Branded email templates with your logo, colors, and custom messaging
  • Target specific products, collections, or your entire catalog
  • Real-time inventory alerts via email, Slack, Discord, LINE WORKS, and Chatwork
  • Zero theme modifications — works entirely in the backend
  • Set different alert thresholds per product
