Steps to Create a Back-in-Stock Notification
Follow these steps to set up and test your notification:
Log in to your Shopify account.
Choose an out-of-stock product:
Go to a product page with zero inventory.
If needed, set a product’s inventory to 0.
Make sure the Continue selling when out of stock option is unchecked, so Notify Me! can recognize it as out-of-stock.
Tip:
If you want to show the Notify Me button on products that allow pre-orders (continue selling), enable the Show the "Notify Me" button on pre-order product pages setting.
3. Locate the “Notify Me” button:
You’ll typically find it below the Sold Out message.
Important:
If you don’t see the button, contact us via live chat or email at [email protected] so we can help set it up.
4. Test the subscription form:
Click Notify Me to open the form.
Enter your email, phone number, or both.
Choose how you’d like to be notified (Email, SMS, Push Notification, or all).
5. Review your subscription:
In your Notify Me! panel, go to Back in Stock > Requests to see your test request.
6. Restock the product:
In the Shopify Admin dashboard, go to Products.
Update the product inventory to 1 or more.
Once updated, you’ll receive the notification you subscribed to.
7. Verify sent notifications:
In your Notify Me! panel, check Back in Stock > Sent Notifications to confirm it was sent.
