How it sells itself

Back in Stock lets shoppers sign up to be notified when a sold-out product returns, and emails them the moment it does. Before every send, it re-checks live Shopify inventory, so shoppers are only emailed when the item is truly available again. Merchants see which products and variants are most in demand, so they know what to restock. Emails carry the store's name, logo, colour, and an optional discount code.

Help shoppers find out when sold-out variants return. StockRecover adds a consent-based signup form to product pages, sends an email when your selected inventory threshold is reached, and shows notification status in Shopify admin. Manage variant rules, honor unsubscribe and suppression, and access the subscriber data collected for your store through private downloads.

Key points
  • Re-checks live stock before every send, so shoppers don’t get a false alert
  • Send unlimited restock alerts, with automatic reminders to recover more sales
  • Shows demand by product and variant, so you know exactly what to restock
  • On-brand emails with your store's logo, colour, and an optional discount
  • Add a back-in-stock signup form with an explicit consent checkbox.
  • Choose stock thresholds and manage alerts for individual variants.
  • View recorded notification and delivery status in Shopify admin.
