How to create a notification (Classic Mode)
Classic mode notifications let you manually set low stock thresholds for your products. They’re ideal if you want full control over when alerts are triggered, without relying on automatic forecasting.
Click the Create notification button on the Notifications page.
Notification details
Specify the details for your notification — including when it should be sent and who should receive it.
Notification name
Enter a name for your notification.
This name will appear as the subject line when your low stock email is delivered.
Notification delivery
Choose when you would like to receive notifications:
- Scheduled notifications (default)
- Batches all low stock items into a single email for easier review.
- You choose when it’s sent — for example, daily at 9:00 AM.
- Ideal if you prefer a clean, consolidated overview of your low stock items.
- Instant notifications
- Sends a separate email immediately each time a product variant drops to or below its threshold.
- Useful for fast-moving or high-priority products.
- Keep in mind: you’ll receive one email per product variant, which can result in multiple emails depending on your catalog and sales volume.

Recipients
Enter the name and email address of each person or team who should receive low stock alerts.
Locations
Choose which of your Shopify locations should be monitored by the notification.
By default, Stockie tracks inventory across all active locations.
If you only want to monitor specific locations — for example, just your warehouse or retail store — simply select them here.
Configure products and thresholds
Once your notification is saved, click Manage products and thresholds to choose which products to monitor and set your low stock thresholds.
