FAQ

Will it email me on every sale?

No. It fires once when a variant crosses your reorder point, not on every sale below it.

Does it change my inventory or reorder automatically?

No. It only adds a tag and emails you. Purchasing stays in your hands.

Which Shopify plan do I need?

Basic or higher. It uses only built-in Shopify Flow actions, so it doesn't need Send HTTP request (Grow and up).

Do I need to be technical?

No. You follow a checklist and paste in the settings provided.

What if it doesn't work in my store?

You're covered by a 14-day 'it didn't run' refund.
