Practical advice on recovering lost sales, managing inventory, and keeping customers coming back.
SMS gets a 98% open rate. WhatsApp gets a 98% open rate. And restock emails, the highest-performing automated email type, get a 65% open rate (Barilliance email marketing benchmarks, 2024). So the answer seems obvious: ditch email and go with SMS or WhatsApp. Except it’s not that simple. When you compare SMS vs email vs […]
Back in stock emails get a 65% open rate, three times higher than the average email (Barilliance email marketing benchmarks, 2024). But that number only happens when the subject line earns the open. A generic “Product available” or “Inventory update” line wastes the single highest-performing email type in your automation stack. If you want restock […]
Back in stock emails get a 65% open rate, the highest of any automated email type, including welcome emails and abandoned cart sequences (Barilliance email marketing benchmarks, 2024). That alone should make every Shopify store owner pay attention. But here’s the problem: most stores still send bland, generic “it’s back” emails that waste this massive […]
Your product is unavailable. A customer lands on the page. What happens next? If you’ve set up a preorder, they can buy it right now and receive it later. If you’ve set up a back in stock alert, they leave their email and you notify them when it’s back. Both solve the same core problem, […]
Klaviyo is one of the strongest email marketing platforms for Shopify. Its back in stock feature, though, has real gaps that cost you sales. A Klaviyo back in stock alternative is a dedicated Shopify app that handles restock notifications independently, offering channels, analytics, and customization that Klaviyo’s built-in flow can’t match. Here’s why that matters: […]
Shopify doesn’t include native restock notifications. If a product goes out of stock, there’s no built-in way to tell customers when it’s back. You need a third-party app for that, and there are dozens of them. The problem? Most “best restock notification apps” articles are written by the apps themselves, ranking their own product first. […]
175 million people message a business on WhatsApp every day (Wapikit, 2025). Your customers are already on WhatsApp. They already expect to hear from brands there. The question is not whether your Shopify store should use WhatsApp. It is how quickly you can start. The good news: sending WhatsApp messages from your Shopify store does […]
Every app listing on Shopify says “free plan available.” But what does that free plan actually give you? Usually 10 to 50 emails per month, the app’s branding on your notifications, and no analytics to speak of. A free back in stock app for Shopify adds a “Notify Me” button to out-of-stock product pages and […]
WhatsApp is not just a messaging app anymore. In 2026, it is a full commerce platform where customers discover products, ask questions, and complete purchases without ever leaving the chat. With 3+ billion monthly active users and business features evolving rapidly, WhatsApp is reshaping how Shopify merchants sell online. The shift is already happening. Conversational […]
