What merchants think

Feedback submitted

Merchants appreciate this app for automating customer notifications when products are restocked, highlighting its user-friendly interface and customizable features such as email templates and notification buttons. It supports integration on product and collection pages and offers a free plan suitable for growing businesses. The support team is responsive, often resolving issues within 24 hours, enhancing customer service and inventory management.

On September 28th I reached out to customer support about an integration issue. As of October 8th, it is still not resolved.

Customer service was available and helpful. You tell customer service the issue, they forward it to the team, wait for an answer, then get back to you. Long process but it works.

It's just taking way too long to resolve this issue and although they gave me another solution to try (that I didn't), it's just easier to switch to another app.

Fake advertising of features. Customisation available is nothing like suggested. You cannot even change the colours of the text on the emails. Also the test email linked the Buy Now button to some weird variant product that does not even exisit in my store (I don't actually use variants) to be told it would be some days form developers to come back. Other messages the support lady just skipped, did not read or answer. So a very poor app, not fit for purpose, with an equally poor support experience

Your app stopped working sometime today after 5am.
When I logged in it said I needed to establish the connection again, I did that.
When I went to my site, the email when available button wasn't showing.
Contacted support and support said they can see the button, but it's taking a few seconds to load. I could not see the button on the site at all. I tried with multiple browsers and friends browsers and other devices.
They told me it would take 12-24 hours for a developer to fix the issue. Seeing as it's black friday weekend, respectfully I can't wait 12-24 hours for your developer to fix this, I needed an instant fix.
I have found a different app with no issues at all, which is now on the site. It's a shame as I used your app for over a year and really enjoyed it.
The lack of instant support and quick resolution has made me uninstall the app, as the slow support means I have lost out on loads of customer data on Black Friday weekend.

Now that I have been using the app for over a month, the test email and text doesn't work and I have many customers claiming that they never received a notification. When I emailed them screenshots of the problem, they denied there was a problem and then 2 hours later they said they needed time to research it. I deleted the app and went back to the Back in Stock app which costs more but never stopped working.

Really bad experience! An error in the app meant that items that are not tracked in Shopify also showed as out of stock, which we did not discover for a week and subsequently lost a lot of sales! After contacting their support departement, the issue has still not been fixed even days later! The app has now been deleted and replaced with another alternative.

Hi Ellen,

I am very sorry for the delay and the inconvenience it has caused you. We checked the problem and our button needs to track the inventory to determine whether the product is on sale, but the product does not track the inventory, and our database obtains that the inventory of the product is all negative, so it is judged to be out of stock. I know your opinions and feedback are valid, but please know that we are doing our best to give you a better experience with the app and to help you earn more sales. We have sent you an email to make amendments to this, Ellen, please write us back. Thank you so much.
Happy Life!
