See every featureSafety Stock prevents overselling by keeping a buffer of inventory in reserve. Instead of waiting until stock hits zero, the app marks a product as sold out once its available quantity reaches the threshold you set, so the remaining units stay protected for in-store sales, samples, or pending orders.
Running out of popular products can cause missed sales and frustrated customers. StockGuard makes it easy to stay ahead by tracking your inventory and sending you timely low-stock alerts. You’ll receive clear email notifications when important products are running low, so you can reorder before you miss sales. The dashboard gives you a simple overview of which products are at risk, helping you prioritize restocking.
- Reserve retail stock so products show sold out before inventory reaches zero
- Set thresholds store-wide or for specific store, products, collections, and tags
- Set rule priorities so that your preferred threshold wins when rules overlap
- Low-stock email alerts
- Simple dashboard overview
- Multi-recipient notifications
- Export reports (CSV)
