Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set different thresholds for different products?
Yes. Each product or product category can have its own restock threshold based on sales volume, lead time, and storage capacity.
Does this work with multiple warehouses?
Yes. If you use a multi location setup in Shopify, the automation can monitor and alert for each warehouse independently.
Can it automatically place orders with my supplier?
The template drafts the reorder email with all the details. For fully automated ordering, you can connect to supplier systems via API or EDI integration.
