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.
Recover sales every time you restock or drop a price. Stok sends instant back in stock, price drop & waitlist alerts via Email, SMS, WhatsApp & push. Add 'Notify Me' widgets to PDPs & collections in 5 minutes — no code. Auto-notify customers when items restock, prices drop, or sales start. Boost conversions with repeat reminders, multi-language templates & upsell tips. Track recovered revenue & subscriber growth.
