SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Products run out of stock unexpectedly when inventory workflows rely on manual checks, causing missed sales and delayed reorders. This Skill sets up automated alerts that fire when stock drops below configured thresholds, so purchasing teams can reorder before running out. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Platform-Specific Alert Setup: Step-by-step configuration for Shopify (Stocky), WooCommerce (ATUM), BigCommerce, and custom headless builds with a TypeScript background job. - Dynamic Reorder Points: Calculates thresholds from sales velocity and supplier lead time using the formula (daily velocity × lead time days) × 1.2 safety buffer, instead of fixed thresholds. - Supplier Notification Automation: Consolidates low-stock alerts into one email per supplier and supports draft purchase order generation. - Use Case: A retailer with fast-moving and slow-moving SKUs replaces a blanket "alert at 10 units" rule with velocity-based reorder points, so fast sellers alert early enough to cover supplier lead times. ## Quick Start Set up low stock alerts for my Shopify store with per-variant reorder thresholds and automatic supplier email notifications.

Frequently Asked Questions about low-stock-alerts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up low stock alerts in Shopify?▼

Shopify natively emails the admin only when stock hits zero. For configurable thresholds, install the free Stocky app, set a reorder point and reorder quantity per product, and Stocky flags items below threshold and can generate draft purchase orders.

How to calculate a reorder point based on sales velocity?▼

Use the formula: Reorder Point = (Daily Sales Velocity × Lead Time Days) × 1.2 safety buffer. For example, a product selling 5 units per day with a 7-day lead time needs a reorder point of 42 units.

Does WooCommerce support per-product low stock thresholds?▼

Yes. Enable Manage Stock on the product's Inventory tab and enter a product-specific low stock threshold, which overrides the global threshold set under WooCommerce Settings, Products, Inventory.

Why does the same low stock alert fire repeatedly?▼

Repeated alerts happen when the system lacks deduplication. Custom builds should check for an existing unresolved alert (resolvedAt is null) for the same variant, location, and alert type before creating a new one.

Can low stock alerts be sent directly to suppliers?▼

Yes. Set the notification email to the supplier's ordering inbox, or use ATUM's paid supplier email feature on WooCommerce. Consolidate multiple low-stock SKUs from the same supplier into a single email to avoid alert fatigue.
