Stock Alerts
Stock Alerts help you stay on top of inventory by notifying you when a product's quantity falls below a specified threshold. By setting low stock alerts, you can quickly identify products that need to be reordered before they sell out.
Stock Alerts are especially useful for monitoring best-selling products, seasonal inventory, and everyday essentials to help prevent stockouts and maintain healthy inventory levels.
Creating a Stock Alert
- Navigate to Inventory
- Locate and open the product you would like to monitor
- Find the Low Stock Alert or field and turn it on
- Enter the minimum quantity you would like to keep on hand
- Click Save to apply the alert
- Once the product's available quantity falls below the threshold you set, it will automatically appear in your low stock alerts
Viewing Low Stock Alerts
- Navigate to the Inventory section.
- Open Stock Alerts
- Review products that have fallen below their configured thresholds
- Check off the alerts you want to reorder and choose Purchase stock. A new Purchase Order opens with those items already on it and quantities suggested from your thresholds. Or adjust stock levels as needed.
Exporting Your Low Stock Alerts
Want a reorder list you can share with your buyer or bring to a vendor appointment? You can download your low stock alerts as a spreadsheet (CSV file).
- Navigate to Inventory and open Stock Alerts
- If you like, narrow the list with the search box and the vendor, department or tag filters. The export includes only the alerts that match.
- Click Export in the top right corner
- We'll email you the file when it's ready. You can also download it from the Files page.
The file has one row per alert, showing the product, style number, vendor, department, alert level, threshold, quantity in stock and when it was last alerted. For alerts set on a color, a variant or a store, we also include the color, size, SKU and store. A Total alert covers the whole product, so we leave those columns blank.
