Stay Ahead of Inventory Issues With Shuttle's Stock Rules

Updated over a month ago

Managing your stock levels effectively is crucial for running smooth e-commerce operations, maintaining sales momentum, and avoiding disappointed customers.

Shuttle’s Stock Rules feature empowers you to proactively manage your inventory by alerting you whenever products or variations reach specified stock thresholds.

Additionally, Shuttle can automatically replenish stock levels, keeping your inventory accurate and your workflow efficient.

How Stock Rules Can Help Your Business:

  • Avoid Stockouts: Receive immediate alerts before inventory runs too low, allowing you time to restock and prevent lost sales.

  • Efficient Restocking: Automate stock adjustments, ensuring you always maintain an optimal inventory level.

  • Custom Monitoring: Easily create unlimited stock rules tailored specifically to products, variations, tags, or entire collections.

  • Location-Specific Management: Monitor inventory levels at specific Shopify locations, ensuring precise control over your distribution and fulfillment centers.

  • Flexible Notifications: Receive stock alerts in real-time or in a convenient daily summary, matching your personal or team's workflow.

Flexible Stock Level Monitoring

Shuttle allows you to create and customize as many Stock Rules as your business requires. For instance, you can:

  • Get notified whenever a product is sold out or reaches a single item in stock.

  • Set custom alerts for individual items, like receiving notifications when a specific product falls below 5 units.

  • Monitor groups of products using specific tags, collections or by SKU—perfect for tracking critical, best-selling, or promotional products.

Granular Platform Control

You have full control over where stock levels are monitored:

  • Monitor inventory on Etsy, Shopify, or both platforms simultaneously.

  • Target stock rules to specific Shopify inventory locations, perfect for multi-location or warehouse-specific inventory management.

This granular control helps maintain clear oversight of your inventory levels exactly where you need it.

Automated Stock Adjustments

One of the most powerful features within Shuttle’s Stock Rules is the ability to automatically adjust your inventory. For example, you can set a rule such as:

“When a product’s stock level drops below 3 units, automatically adjust its stock quantity back to 10, and send me an immediate notification.”

This automation eliminates manual adjustments, saving significant time and reducing the risk of human errors.

Scheduled and Real-Time Alerts

Shuttle offers flexible notification options to ensure you receive inventory alerts exactly when it suits your workflow best:

  • Real-time alerts: Instantly get notified whenever a rule condition is met—ideal for fast-moving items that need immediate attention.

  • Daily alerts at a specific time: Receive consolidated stock notifications at your chosen time each day, enabling structured daily inventory reviews.

In Summary:

Shuttle's Stock Rules is a robust inventory management tool designed to proactively keep your store running smoothly, save you valuable time, and significantly reduce stock-related headaches. With tailored alerts, automated adjustments, and complete customization, it’s a powerful solution for staying in full control of your inventory.
