HOW2 SHOPIFY: Low-Stock Alerts That Save Sales

Why Sellouts Sneak Up

Your best seller sells fastest — which means it runs dry fastest. Without a threshold warning, the first sign of trouble is a customer asking where their order is.

Build Your Alert Routine

• List your top sellers and set a low-stock threshold for each.
• Use Shopify inventory views to flag items at or below threshold.
• Check the inventory report weekly — same day, same time.
• Note supplier lead times beside each threshold.

Thresholds That Match Reality

A threshold should cover sales during your supplier's lead time, plus a buffer. A product selling ten a week with a two-week lead time needs an alert well before the last box.

From Alerts to Action

When an alert fires: reorder, update delivery expectations on the product page, and pause ads if stock will gap. Honest ETAs keep customers; surprises lose them.
