Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen processing a refund, the restock checkbox is checked by default. If merchants forget to uncheck it, out-of-stock products get incorrectly restocked, causing inaccurate inventory levels. Restock Blocker gives merchants control over restock behavior using three rules: a Global Rule to disable restocking store-wide, a Tag Rule for products with specific tags, and a Product Rule for individual products.
Merchants often forget to uncheck the restock box during refunds, which silently returns sold-out or returned items to available inventory. This causes overselling, false back-in-stock alerts, and customer complaints. Stock Warden watches every refund and automatically corrects these unintended restocks, usually within seconds. It works in the background with no manual steps.
- Global Rule: Disable restocking for your entire store during refunds.
- Tag Rule: Block restocking for products matching specific tags.
- Product Rule: Control restocking for individual products with highest priority.
- Automatically reverses accidental inventory restocks created during refunds
- Smart Protection only corrects items that were out of stock before the refund
- Product, collection, and custom rules with full multi-location support
