How can I track customer demand for out-of-stock items?

[SpiritedMermaid]

Hi there!

I've been doing research on Notify When In Stock buttons, and they seem great for customers who want to get a notification when products are back in stock. However, I'm looking for an app that will;

1. Allow customers to request products (by clicking "notifying when back in stock")
2. Notify me what products customers want the most (to prioritize them)
3. Notify me when stock gets low

Hello @SpiritedMermaid,

Back In Stock: Customer Alerts by SureSwift Capital is a good solution to follow. It is easy to install and easy to configure. This app operates on the product variant level: customers are notified when the specific size or color they want is restocked.

Also, you can consider the StockBot Low Stock Alert app by StoreBuilder. With its free plan, you can track up to 200 products in your store – set low stock levels and get daily or weekly email updates with products that have reached these levels.

And if it is important for you, there is always an option to develop a custom Shopify app to meet your needs and combines these features in one app. 

If you need any assistance, please, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Hi @SpiritedMermaid,

We're from PageFly Team. Welcome to Shopify Community!

Regarding this concern, you could try out these two Shopify Back in stock apps like Back In Stock by SureSwift Capital and OnVoard Back In Stock, which provide powerful features to enable your customers sign up for an alert via a push notification, email...

And happy to inform you that these two apps are integrated with PageFly and from now on, merchants could display "Notify when back in stock' buttons from the two apps easily via the drag-and-drop system. 

Hope our suggestion will be helpful to you. 

Thank you.

Hi SpiritedMermaid

Yes the Splashup app does this. You won't need a bunch of apps for each, but just one.

It allows you to:

1. Allow customers to request products (by clicking "notifying when back in stock")
2. Notify me when stock gets low

it also allows to:

1. Allow customers to Track price and size/item
2. Allwo customers to be reminded at a time that suits them/snooze session
3. Save/share shortlists

The notification "Notify me what products customers want the most (to prioritize them)" is not there but there is a functionality of 'Notify me of similar items by type/colour/fabric/style' that the shopper chooses to opt in for which is more specific and useful to them that will be available in December.

That's the website https://splashup.co/ (It's a custom Shopify app at the moment)

Does this help? 😊
