Bad. Does not support Shopify locations. Why would you not keep your app up to date with Shopify.

Awesome app support and customer service. Matt took the initiative by helping me install a button as the app did not seem to integrate with my new shopify theme on Mobile.

I've been using this app since last year and it's been very helpful especially on having a good gauge on how much to re-stock for sold-out designs. My customers certainly love receiving the email notification when their fav item is back in store as well. Thanks Team!

DO NOT USE. This app is open to abuse by allowing unauthenticated notifications to be raised against products: 1) Someone could falsely register interest in products resulting in stock purchases by the subscriber that do not represent demand
2) Someone could falsely register email addresses/email list resulting in spam complaints blocking of e-commerce store
3) Someone could falsely register product interest that results in your subscription level be unnecessarily increased to the next tier.

Thank you for your review and feedback;

Our mission is to offer shops a solution to allow their customers to easily sign up for back in stock notifications. With that in mind, notifications can indeed be created freely, but they go through an internal validation process to verify and flag those created by automated systems or deemed unauthentic.

Once flagged, such notifications are not visible and do not count towards the shops' quota. Also, we have the option to include (upon request) a reCaptcha, mitigating even further potential attacks on the storefront.

Paid plans will never automatically upgrade regardless of usage. Plan changes require an explicit approval from the shop owner through Shopify's charge authorization flow.

Kind regards,
The Back in Stock Team

Back in stock notification doesn't work. They ask you to contact support to fix it. They don't even give you a contact form. You have to open up your email client, ask for help, and wait. And also, charging $19/MONTH for software that collects an email and sends a notification is highway robbery. There are more affordable alternatives that work better than this

Hello and thank you for your feedback.

We actually offer a contact link within the Back in Stock dashboard (‘Help and Support’ -> ‘Contact Support’) at the top of every page. We’re standing by to help.

I confirm our app works (99.9% uptime). In rare occasions the app doesn’t render perfectly with a particular theme (maybe this is what you meant?), in which case simply contacting our support team would have solved this for you very quickly.

We believe our pricing to be competitive, but offer a 30 day trial so shops can decide if it’s right for them.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional concerns: support@backinstock.org

Kind regards,
The Back in Stock Team

Great app, works exactly as advertised. Customers started using it from day 1. Developer also responded quickly to any requests for support.

Love this app. I'm so happy I installed it and customized it, tested it BEFORE needing it. I ran out of stock just 36 hours after launching my Shopify store (Thanks Shopify!) and this app has created a LONG list of ready customers for when items came back in stock. Very easy to customize so the fly-out alert became way more visible. Couldn't be easier, couldn't be better, imho. Great value. love it, xox

Back in Stock is a must-have app if you are managing many SKUs. We have over 500 SKUs on our store, so it is impossible to manually notify customers when short SKUs are replenished.

Back-in-stock automates the whole process for us, and gives us visibility on the SKUs customers are looking for. Matt, the developer of Back in Stock, is very helpful and responsive.

Try this app, you won't look back.

This is a great app. Immediately after install we have had a lot of customers using the notify function. We also got orders thanks to the app after updating our stock. Would definitely advise you to try it.
