App or something to allow customer to see the inventory of a specific product and allow notification

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A shop owner seeks a solution to display specific product inventory quantities to customers and send low-stock notifications. This is for a use case where customer-owned goods are stored and shipped on demand.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Stofind app: Recommended for displaying inventory information on product pages, though a later comment suggests this app may no longer be operational (website issues, products not syncing)
  • Alternative apps (all free or with free plans):
    • TimexBar Stock Countdown Timer
    • Urgency Bear Countdown Timer
    • Hey!Scarcity Low Stock Counter

Related Use Case:
Another user has a similar need for bulk pre-paid orders held in warehouse. They require:

  • Customer login portal showing individual stock levels
  • Ability for customers to submit draw-down orders
  • Warehouse fulfillment integration

Status: The discussion remains open with no definitive solution confirmed. The viability of Stofind is questioned, and the more complex B2B inventory portal requirement lacks specific recommendations.

I know we, as shop owners can see, but I’m doing something where I’m holding customer goods in stock and shipping it as needed. How can I have an app or a code to show the specific quantity of the item and then send notification to customer when low?

Hey, @evry1lovej

I recommend checking out an inventory information app such as Stofind and installing it to your store. It will allow you to display inventory information for your customerson your product pages.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

I need help on this too please!

We hold bulk pre-paid orders in our warehouse for clients to be able to draw down from whenever its needed. So we need customers to be able to log into a portal or page on our website that displays all the products that we’re theyve bulk ordered and the stock levels of each item. What is the best way to go about this? I would like customers to be to log in and see their own stock levels, and be able to submit orders so that our warehouse can pack and ship it out to them as required. Grateful for any ideas to work around this! Thankyou!

HI Dirk, Stofind seems to have gone dead. The Stofind website has no contact details any more and re-links to the home page. We have multiple products now not syncing. Is this App dead and have the programmers shut up shop.

Do you have any alternatives for them?
