How it sells itself

StockWarden helps Shopify merchants avoid stockouts by monitoring inventory levels across all products. When stock drops below your threshold, you get an instant email alert. From there, you can create and send a professional purchase order PDF directly to your supplier — all without leaving Shopify. Import your existing supplier and product data from Stocky in minutes.

Stockyard covers what your Shopify purchasing setup is missing: reorder suggestions, supplier lead times, and a lasting purchase order history. Set reorder points and get an email before items run out, with a prefilled draft PO. Track what each supplier charges over time and catch quiet increases. Find already-tracked products that haven't sold in the last 60 days. Supplier records and partial receiving included.

Key points
  • Real-time low stock alerts via email and Slack
  • Automated purchase orders sent directly to suppliers
  • Velocity-based reorder quantity suggestions
  • Supplier management with lead times and contact details
  • Reorder point alerts by email before items run out
  • Prefilled draft purchase orders created from low-stock alerts
  • Import suppliers and purchase order history from Stocky CSV files
  • Supplier records with payment terms, lead times, and contacts

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
