How it sells itself

Restock Alerts captures emails from shoppers on sold-out product pages, then automatically notifies them when inventory returns, turning missed sales into recovered revenue. Shoppers get back in stock alerts and click to buy instantly. Merchants get a subscriber dashboard with stats, product breakdowns, and CSV/JSON export, plus customizable email templates and automatic or manual send modes.

Restock Pro helps merchants recover demand when products sell out. Shoppers can join a waitlist from the product page, and Restock Pro emails them when that item or variant is back in stock. Merchants manage waitlists in the app, review demand by product, and customise the storefront widget and restock email. Setup uses a theme app embed, so merchants can enable it without editing theme code.

Key points
  • Emails subscribers automatically the moment inventory is back in stock.
  • Track signups per product and export the full list as CSV or JSON.
  • Edit sender name, subject, and body to match your brand; test before going live.
  • Automatic Back-in-stock alerts for out-of-stock Shopify products
  • Notify Me form customers can join without an account. Customisable widget style
  • Subscriber variant-level list with filters and CSV export
  • Demand leaderboard by waitlist interest to see which products shoppers want
