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.

Back In Stock helps Shopify merchants capture demand when products or variants sell out, then notify interested customers as soon as inventory returns. The app adds a notify experience to sold-out product pages through a Shopify theme app embed and optional app block. Shoppers can leave their email address for a specific unavailable variant.

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
  • Capture waitlists from sold-out products and variants
  • Send automatic restock alerts through Gmail or SMTP
  • Customize the notify button, popup form, and email design
  • Track signups, email clicks, recovered sales, and revenue
