What Stockwell does
One job: it watches every SKU at every location you run then tells your team by email or Slack before stock reaches zero. Below is what that covers, what the alerts look like plus the list of things it deliberately leaves out.
Everything you need, nothing you do not
Instant alerts
The email or Slack message goes out as soon as Shopify tells us stock dropped below your number, usually within a minute.
Daily summary
One email each morning listing everything that is running low right now, so you can order in one sitting. It posts to Slack too.
Slack alerts
Connect one channel and the same alert lands in Slack, so the people who reorder see it where they already work.
A threshold per variant
Every SKU (variant) can carry its own number, so a fast selling size warns you early and a slow one stops crying wolf.
Every location
Every store, warehouse and fulfillment center is checked on its own, so a full warehouse cannot hide an empty shop.
Up to 10 recipients
Your buyer, your warehouse team and your store manager all get the same email at the same time.
Delivery confirmation

Never wonder whether the alert went out
With most alert apps you hand over an email address and then hope. Stockwell puts it on one screen: what you track, what is low, what is out and how many alerts went out. Under it is every recent change with the SKU (variant), the location, the units left and the time it happened.

What Stockwell deliberately does not do
Worth reading before you install, because these are the gaps people find in week one. None of them is on a roadmap we would ask you to wait for.
- Email and Slack only. Alerts arrive in the inbox your team already has open or in the Slack channel they already watch. There is no SMS, no mobile push and no webhook to build.
- No purchase orders and no supplier records. If you raise orders inside your alerting app, this is not that app.
- No demand forecasting. Stockwell watches the number you set. It does not predict the number for you.
- No storefront widgets. Nothing here is shown to your customers. Every alert goes to your own team.
If any of those is a requirement, the comparison page names the apps that do cover it, including the ones that beat us on price.
