Stock Alerts
The 'Stock Alerts' app allows you to set stock alert levels for each of your products. Every day the system checks the stock levels of your products against the alert levels that you have set. Each product that has fallen below the alert level will be included in the stock alert email that is sent to you each morning.
Please note!
Products that are inactive in your ShopWired account won't be included in the stock alert email even if they have fallen below the stock alert threshold.
Stock alerts can only be set on products that use the stock management system.
Separate stock levels can be set for each product, but you do not need to set alert levels for every product if you don’t wish to be warned of their stock levels.
Please note!
The stock alert level can only be set on the base product and not on individual variations. Once a stock alert is set on the base product any time the stock level of a variation of that product dips below the set level that variation will be included in the email.
To install the app select from the menu. Find and select the app named ‘Stock Alerts’ and select INSTALL THIS APP.

Setting stock levels in bulk through the import/export system
To set your stock levels in bulk use the stock import/export system. To do this use the import/export buttons on the ‘Manage Your Stock’ page:
You can choose to export all of your current stock information, change the information on the spreadsheet and then import the spreadsheet back onto the system. Alternatively you can download the import template and fill in the SKU codes and alert level information for your products.
Either way, as long as the app is installed, there will be a third column on the stock import/export spreadsheets labelled ‘Alert’ for you to include or change the levels. Click here for more information about the stock import/export system.
