Low stock warning

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Seeking an app to show post‑order stock status, especially when orders contain 40–50 line items. Current use of Shopify Flow isn’t giving clear, consolidated info.

Suggested options:

  • Shopify Flow: set low‑stock email alerts; use Liquid to loop over line items within a single email; use “Run code” to format summaries; or “Add line to spreadsheet” to push a consolidated update to Google Sheets and send one email.
  • Apps: Inventora to display live stock on the storefront; Stockup for restock alerts and days‑remaining; Report Pundit for near‑real‑time inventory (hourly) reports.
  • Shopify Analytics: built‑in inventory reports exist but only show ending inventory and update once daily at midnight, not current levels.

Latest update: The requester finds Flow too advanced to configure for large orders and has engaged a developer to build or set up a better solution.

Status: No final resolution. Next steps likely involve a custom implementation or adopting a specialized reporting app for consolidated, per‑order inventory summaries.

Hi @RunnsSommen ,

  • Try apps like Inventora ‑ show stock level — it lets you display real-time stock remaining (for example “Only X left”, “In stock”, “Out of stock”).
  • If you want more post-order detail like how many units sold and remaining after each order, you may need a reporting/inventory-management app (or use Stockup ‑ Inventory Management for restock alerts and days-remaining metrics).
  • Also remember: Shopify Analytics already has built-in inventory reports (“Inventory sold daily by product”, “Inventory remaining per product”) which you can access if you’re on a plan that supports reports.

@RunnsSommen, You can use Shopify Flow to set a condition that sends you an email notification when your inventory falls below a certain number. However, Shopify’s reports only show the ending inventory, which updates once a day at midnight. If you want to see your current inventory levels, you can use Report Pundit, which can send you hourly reports with the latest inventory status.

What’s wrong? In what way it is not good?

Sometimes the order has 40-50 items, and i cant get flow to give me the info in a good way, you have any suggestions?

Depends on your flow.
If you use Flow Loop action over order line items and each item generates its own e-mail this can be problematic.

However, you can loop over line items with liquid inside a parameter for “Email” action.

Or you may use “Run code” to transform your data in something easier to manage.

Or use “Add line to spreadsheet” action to update your Google docs sheet.

Or combine both – send one e-mail and update spreadsheet.

Hard to tell without seeing the flow.
