How it sells itself

Smart Stock Cap stops online sales of a product once a set number of units has sold, counted across all its variants. Split one cap by country, such as Australia 30, New Zealand 20 and the rest of the world 50, or block other countries. Checkout blocks extra units, including Buy it now and express checkouts, with a clear message.

StockTag helps merchants keep selected collections clean when products sell out. Choose which manual and Smart collections StockTag should manage, set your out-of-stock tag and threshold, and let StockTag handle the updates when inventory changes. Sold-out products are tagged automatically and kept out of selected collections until inventory is available again.

Key points
  • Set inventory caps to limit how many units can be sold per product
  • Automatically hide products when cap is reached
  • Schedule caps with start and end dates for flash sales and limited drops
  • Real-time progress dashboard showing units sold vs. your limit
  • Automatically hide out-of-stock products from selected collections
  • Manage manual and automated collections from one simple dashboard
  • Set a custom out-of-stock tag and inventory threshold
  • Automatically restore products to manual collections when inventory returns
