Switching between Classic and Smart Mode
Stockie offers two ways to manage your low stock alerts — Classic Mode and Smart Mode.
Each mode provides a different level of functionality, and your pricing plan determines which one is active for your store.
If you’re unsure which mode is right for you, see:

What happens when you switch
| Action | What changes |
|---|---|
| Upgrading to Pro (Smart Mode) | Stockie enables forecasting and automatically calculates reorder points using your sales velocity, lead time, and safety stock. You’ll gain access to Smart Mode notifications and the Forecasting page. |
| Downgrading to Free/Basic/Advanced (Classic Mode) | Forecasting features and Smart Mode notifications are disabled. Your Classic Mode notifications remain active and continue sending alerts based on your manual thresholds. |
⚠️ Note: Smart Mode requires forecasting data. If you downgrade from the Pro plan, your forecast data will be deleted.
