The Low Stock functionality in Notify Me! is designed to increase urgency and drive conversions by showcasing products that are nearly out of stock. By alerting customers that inventory is running low, the Low Stock widget encourages them to make a purchase before it’s too late. This feature is perfect for boosting engagement on products with limited availability and helps prevent customers from leaving your store to shop elsewhere.

Key Benefits:

  • Increased Sales: Displaying low stock alerts creates a sense of scarcity, motivating customers to buy sooner rather than risk missing out.

  • Better Customer Engagement: Customers are more likely to act when they see a product is in high demand, especially when paired with a stock counter showing how much is left.

  • Inventory Control: By highlighting low-stock items, you can manage inventory more effectively, focusing on replenishing products that are in high demand.

How It Works:

Once the Low Stock feature is activated, a customizable widget will be displayed on your product pages, showing customers that the item is close to selling out. The widget can be set to appear when the inventory drops below a certain level, creating a visual trigger that prompts immediate action from customers.

  • Activate the Widget: You can activate the Low Stock functionality from the Notify Me! dashboard by navigating to Low Stock and clicking Turn On.

  • Customize the Appearance: Tailor the look and feel of the widget to match your store’s theme, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your branding.

  • Display Logic: The widget can be set to show on all in-stock products or only those below a specific inventory threshold, allowing you to control how scarcity is displayed.

By enabling the Low Stock feature, you tap into the psychological principle of urgency, making customers feel they must act fast to secure the product before it’s gone. This ultimately drives higher conversion rates and boosts your store's performance.

Where to Activate:

  1. Go to Low Stock under the Notify Me! menu.

  2. Click Turn On to activate the functionality.

  3. Set the visibility and appearance options based on your preferences.
