Send automatic, real-time back in stock alerts and restock notifications to customers when their favorite products are restocked. Shoppers can sign up for unlimited number of alerts using simple forms on your product and collection pages. When you restock those products, Alert Me automatically triggers back in stock alerts to customers, truly hands-free and effortless. Alert Me - Restock Alerts makes it easy to grow your revenue by alerting customers to buy products they already love!
Is there a free plan, or do I have to pay right away?
Yes, Alert Me! Restock Alerts offers a free plan that includes unlimited sign-ups but caps sent notifications at 10 per month. Paid plans start at $4.99/month (up to 50 notifications/month), $9.99/month (up to 3,000/month), and $29.99/month for unlimited sent notifications. Annual billing is available on paid plans with roughly 16–17% savings.
Will the 'Notify Me' form work with my existing theme, including custom themes?
The app is praised for seamless integration with Shopify themes, including custom ones, and works on both product and collection pages. In some edge cases — such as completely out-of-stock items displaying differently — a minor snippet placement adjustment may be needed, but the developer's support team can handle this. One recent reviewer noted it was not compatible with the Woolman Themes Taiga theme, so it's worth testing with your specific theme before fully committing.
How quickly are restock alerts sent once I update my inventory?
Alerts are typically sent within 15 minutes of a restock, as Shopify notifies the app each time you update a product. However, because Shopify's webhook delivery isn't guaranteed, it can occasionally take up to 6 hours. If you need to send alerts immediately, there is a manual 'Send Now' button available under Notifications > Current Sign Ups.
Does it alert customers at the variant level (e.g., specific sizes or colors), or just the overall product?
Alert Me! supports alerts by variant, so customers sign up for and receive notifications for the specific size, color, or other variant they want — not just the product in general. The app also respects a configurable minimum restock quantity threshold per variant before triggering notifications, so you won't accidentally alert customers if only a tiny amount comes back in.
What do other merchants say about support responsiveness?
Support feedback is mixed. Many long-term merchants praise the founder (Kimberly) and team for being quick and helpful. However, several recent reviewers (as of late 2025 and early 2026) report not receiving responses for weeks, which is a meaningful concern. Prospective merchants should weigh this against the app's otherwise strong track record, particularly for small stores.
Can I control which products show the sign-up form, and can I disable it for products I won't restock?
Yes. Under Notifications > Edit Products, you can turn off the sign-up form for any individual product you don't intend to restock. You can also configure whether the form appears on preorder items via Settings > General Settings > Show form on preorder items.
Does the app provide any analytics to help me make smarter inventory decisions?
Yes, Alert Me! includes built-in analytics that show which out-of-stock products have the most sign-ups, helping you prioritize restocks based on actual customer demand. The dashboard also provides performance reports so you can track how much revenue restock alerts have recovered for your store.
