Is there a free plan, or do I need to pay from day one?
There is a free plan available that includes up to 10 emails per month. Paid plans start at $19.99/month (Starter), $29.99/month (Pro), and $49.99/month (Premium), with a 7-day free trial on all paid tiers. Note that SMS notifications are charged separately on top of any plan.
Will this work with my existing Shopify theme without a developer?
Yes — the signup form and notifications are described as 100% customizable and compatible with all themes. Setup is advertised to take less than 2 minutes with no coding required, so no developer is needed for standard installation.
Does it integrate with Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or other marketing tools I already use?
Yes. The app integrates with Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Pushowl, Zapier, and Wiser. However, Klaviyo and Mailchimp integrations are only unlocked on the Starter plan ($19.99/month) and above — they are not included in the free plan.
What notification channels does it support — is it just email, or can I reach customers via SMS and other channels too?
The app supports back-in-stock alerts via email, SMS, Facebook Messenger, and web push notifications. Keep in mind that SMS alerts carry additional charges on top of the monthly plan fee.
What do other merchants say about the app's reliability and support?
The app holds a 4.7-star rating across 1,413 reviews on the Shopify App Store, with 93% being 5-star ratings. However, a number of recent critical reviews cite serious issues including notification delivery failures during major restocks and unresponsive support lasting days or weeks, which led to significant lost sales for some merchants.
What analytics or demand insights does the app provide?
The app includes an analytics dashboard with inventory and performance reports, letting you understand customer demand across products and variants. This can help inform restocking decisions and identify which products generate the most waitlist interest.
Can it handle product variants (e.g., size, color) and multiple store locations?
Yes — the app supports segmented restock alerts based on specific product variant combinations such as size, color, or style. It also offers multi-location support, allowing notifications to be triggered only when a product is restocked at the relevant inventory location.
