What is a stock alert?

1.6K Published on August 17, 2023

A stock alert notifies you when your stock levels for a product are running low.

Once your product stocks reach a threshold quantity, you'll receive a reminder to restock. For example, if you set the threshold quantity to 10, the stock alert will be triggered once your product only has 10 units left in stock.

These alerts will help you replenish your supplies before your products go out of stock. Turn on stock alerts and keep a steady supply of your listed products to enjoy continuous sales!
