Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureTired of apps that fail silently on a big restock, or charge a cut of your pre-order revenue? Restocker is built differently. Shoppers join a waitlist and get an automatic email the moment you restock. Pre-orders use native Shopify selling plans, so Shop Pay cannot oversell you. Every notification writes to a permanent delivery log: not just "sent" but actually delivered.
Every sold‑out product is a missed sale. StockSentry brings shoppers back automatically and keeps you selling while you restock. Shoppers click “Notify me” on any out‑of‑stock variant and get an email the moment it returns. Want to keep selling now? Add a pre‑order button with a clear “ships when back in stock” note — no theme code, no broken Add‑to‑Cart. Both are theme app blocks you add in seconds.
- Back-in-stock alerts: automatic email the moment inventory returns
- Pre-orders via native selling plans, with no oversells at checkout
- Delivery log: permanent proof of every notification and its status
- No theme code edits: widgets install as clean theme app extension blocks

- Theme-safe pre-order button keeps sold-out items selling, no code
- Demand report: see which sold-out items shoppers want most
