How it sells itself

Choose variants and stock locations to monitor. Combine recent non-refunded ordered quantities with available inventory, supplier lead time, safety days and minimum order quantities. Review suggested replenishment quantities and export a CSV for purchasing. Demand is calculated across the store; selected locations contribute a pooled stock total. Recommendations use recent orders and do not predict future sales.

RestockPilot checks your Shopify inventory once a day. When a product drops below the reorder point you set, it emails you a draft purchase order with the SKU, quantity, and supplier so you can review it and send it yourself. RestockPilot never contacts your supplier automatically.

Key points
  • Review 7, 14 or 28 days of current non-refunded ordered quantities.
  • Set lead time, safety days and minimum order quantities for replenishment.
  • Compare available stock with recent demand and export a reorder CSV.
  • Daily inventory checks — automatic, no manual work
  • Draft purchase orders emailed to you — SKU, quantity, supplier included
  • You stay in control — nothing is sent to your supplier without your review
  • One supplier per SKU for now — multi-supplier support may come later
