Admin Email Notifications for all Price Drops

Topic summary

A merchant seeks a way to receive admin email notifications whenever product prices are reduced across their store, with optional filtering capabilities.

Current limitation:

  • Shopify Flow does not offer a native trigger for monitoring price changes on products.

Suggested solutions:

  • Third-party apps: Install apps from the Shopify App Store such as “Alert Me! Price Alerts” or “Mate: Restock Alerts,” which can be configured to send admin notifications for price drops with filtering options.
  • Custom development: Hire a certified Shopify developer to create a custom solution using the Shopify API to monitor price changes and trigger automated email alerts.

Recommendation:
Testing an app-based solution first is advised for ease of implementation before pursuing custom development.

Hi,

I’m looking for a specific solution: We want to get an email to our admin whenever a price is dropped.

I am unable to do this with Flow. Is there another solution available?

Again, this is just for the admin and should apply to all products (or some filtering would be nice).

Thank you.

To implement this feature, you may explore available solutions through the App Store or consider engaging a certified Shopify developer for custom development.

Hi @TinfoilDreams

Unfortunately, Shopify Flow doesn’t include a direct trigger for price changes on all products, which might be the source of your challenge. A reasonable workaround is to employ a third-party app like “Alert Me! Price Alerts” or “Mate: Restock Alerts” from the Shopify App Store, which can be configured to send admin email notifications for price drops, with filtering if needed. Another approach is to explore custom code by editing your theme’s scripts or using a Shopify Expert to set up a solution that monitors price changes via the Shopify API and sends automated emails to your admin. I’d recommend testing an app first for ease.

Hope this helps!
