Description

Restock alerts via SMS/email + Meta. Auto-recover sales lost to stockouts!

SpurIT Back in Stock Alerts allows you to manage back in stock notifications to bring your shoppers back and prevent lost sales. The app checks stock levels regularly and automatically sends emails, sms alerts or even Meta Messenger (Facebook) when the product is back in stock. The pop-up appears when a user clicks on the icon badge. It can also pop up automatically when a user is viewing an out-of-stock product.

Fully customizable design of the ‘Notify me’ badge and ‘Back in Stock’ pop-up
Editable back in stock notification templates in different languages
Customers specify how long they can wait for the product to be back in stock
Automated notifications and reminders for restocked items via email, sms or Meta

I found the "help" to be slow and unresponsive. I was charged an annual fee of $189 USD when I tried to cancel. Not at all happy.

The Spur It App works very well. The pop up option allows for email input on the product screen. Restock email comes up soon after the item is back in stock.

The UI can use some improvements. An option to import subscribers from a CSV file would be nice, but the overall very useful app and great customer service.

Our customers LOVE the "notify me when it's back in stock" feature. We love the ability to export data to csv. Well done!

I have recently added this to my store so I cannot tell you how well it is working just yet, but I can say that I have had amazing support. Philip relocated the button to where I needed it and he matched it seamlessly with my store. I am looking forward to seeing results from this app shortly. A great idea.

Love this app! My customers enjoy using it too, as a great way to stay informed about new items coming in, or when stock is replenished. I can see easily in the back end which customers have asked to be notified about what products, so I can see which of my shop items are most in demand. I can also see when a notification has been sent to a customer, and whether they proceeded with their purchase or not. Another feature is to offer customers the option of how long they're willing to wait for a product to come back into stock. I don't use this because my stock can sometimes take longer to arrive from our overseas suppliers, but it's a fabulous way to let customers know we're thinking of them, and appreciate that no-one likes to wait too long for things they want. I'm looking forward to seeing new features in this app as it develops!

Excellent App! I needed a little support in the beginning to adjust something and they took care of it for me in a matter of minutes. Have had this app for over a year now and it works perfect! A Must have for Shopify stores.

Great app that enabled us to make money that would have otherwise been lost. The app is simple to set up, automated and customizable. Very good customer service, too. A+
