What is the Back in Stock app?
The Vitals Back in Stock app adds a notify button to sold-out products, so shoppers can sign up by email or text and get an alert when you restock.
Why add back in stock alerts?
A sold-out page keeps collecting interested shoppers, and the alert brings them back the day you restock.
Collect sign-ups on products you can't sell today.
Ask each sign-up for marketing consent and save opted-in shoppers in Shopify.
Replace a separate back-in-stock app without installing another one.
How do shoppers sign up?
They tap the notify button on a sold-out product and leave an email, or a phone number if you turn on text alerts.
Show a button on sold-out variants, placed where you choose on the product page.
Collect an email or phone number in a short popup with your own wording.
Show the button on products you keep selling when out of stock, or on both kinds.
Leave out products or collections that won't come back.
What do shoppers receive?
An alert when stock returns, plus a confirmation and a reminder if you switch them on.
Confirm the sign-up and suggest products to buy while they wait.
Email every waiting shopper automatically when the product is back.
Follow up 1 to 5 days later with shoppers who haven't bought yet.
Send the alert by text, with a link to the restocked product.
Set the sender name, subject and reply-to address, and send yourself a test.
Can I control when alerts go out?
Yes. You set how much stock triggers an alert and which products send one.
Send alerts only once stock reaches the number you set.
Cap how many shoppers are alerted for each unit you restock.
Collect pre-order interest without sending restock emails.
How do I see what it earns?
The Analytics and Dashboard tabs show sign-ups, orders and revenue from each email.
See orders and revenue from the alert, the reminder and the confirmation.
Find the sold-out products the most shoppers are waiting for.
Filter sign-ups by status and marketing consent.
Download every subscriber with their product, variant and status.
Can I make it match my store?
Yes. You style the button and popup and translate every text shoppers see.
Pick a filled button, an outline or a text link, in your colours.
Set the popup's colours, headline, text and privacy line.
Translate the button and popup for each language your store sells in.
