See every featureScarcityIQ detects when your inventory crosses a low-stock threshold and alerts opted-in shoppers—once per threshold crossing, not on every inventory movement. Shoppers sign up directly from your product page via a lightweight widget. When stock drops below your threshold, they receive a personalized email alert. You get a real-time dashboard with alert activity, conversion tracking, and shopper insights.
Show low-stock messages, remaining-stock alerts, and real-time counters on product and collection pages. Display alerts such as Only 1 left, Selling fast, Low inventory, and more based on thresholds. Customize text, icons, emojis, and colors to match your theme. Apply counters storewide or only to selected products or collections.
