Top 10 Shopify Back in Stock Apps – [2023]

When you have a popular product, it’s very likely that it will go out of stock quickly. This is a problem because a product that is out of stock means you’ve lost sales and potential revenues. Therefore, you need a way to tell customers when your stock will be back up again for certain products. This app helps you do that by inserting a button to your products page that allows the customer to be notified as soon a product is back in stock.

The customer can choose between several different methods of notification with email, SMS, Facebook Messenger and push notifications all available to website owners. And if you have products that have variants and a variant is out of stock, but others aren’t, then the app can work around that and only offer notifications for that variant. And if several variants are out of stock and only one comes back into stock, then the notifications will only be sent to those that showed an interest in that variant.

The app is easy to install, it takes just one click, no coding and no developer is needed. Customization of the notifications is easy and you can customize other aspects such as the button, sign-up form and more to make them match your current branding. Plus you can integrate this app with several other third-party services like MailChimp and others to maximize marketing potential.
