How it sells itself

ScarcityIQ 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.

StockAlert capture les visiteurs qui quittent vos fiches produit en rupture, et les rappelle par email automatiquement dès que vous réapprovisionnez. Le widget natif remplace le bouton Épuisé par un champ email en quelques secondes. Côté admin, un dashboard clair suit vos abonnés et vos envois. Conforme RGPD avec base hébergée en Europe, support en français sous 24h, et un plan gratuit pour démarrer sans engagement.
