Never be out of stock with Stock Indication
Quality inventory management is one of the keys to success in online retail. You always need to be well-informed about what is happening behind the scenes in your web store, because having a product out of stock in most cases means saying no to the customers who are considering a purchase. It’s impossible to track the stock level of every item and update it manually because there is always a chance to leave something behind. With Low Stock Indicator extension, this will never happen to your warehouse. Adjust the stock extension to get notified every time the product needs to be restocked.
The extension allows you to set the lowest possible value for each product and get regular reminders by automatic email notifications when a product stock goes below the marked level. All the settings for stock limits per product and the email configuration for notification is added to your admin panel. Once you do this, you will also receive daily email reports on low stock items. No matter what you are doing, the extension can take care and watch your stock while you mind other business. you are or how long your list of products is, you will be in total control of what is happening in your store.
Gain a useful feature for the Product Stock Options
In the Low Stock indicator extension, you get the functionality the vanilla Magento lacks in the inventory department. In the settings located at Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Inventory > Product Stock Options, there is a new setting added where you can enter multiple email addresses of the people who you would like to get an email every day about the current stock levels. Once you don’t want to receive daily emails, you can just remove the email from the list.
Get the maximum out of stock reporting
There are two default email templates added by Low Stock Indicator to choose from. Product name and low stock quantity can be specified in the Template Content. Besides that, you can also customize the email template according to Magento standard instructions.
The two email templates for the reports are preinstalled. A full report contains a Grid with multiple products that you need to restock with the product name and number indication. The individual report indicates that a certain product exceeds the limit set for it.
Start managing your stock level right after the installation
Low Stock Indicator works without specific configuration. The only two things that you need to be set for the extension to work is the ‘Notify for Quantity Below’ number of products and the emails of the recipients in ‘Low Stock Notify Email’ section. After the configuration is saved, еру extension starts controlling the stocks.
Get custom low stock for each product
There are products that may sell out quicker than the others, and they may need the low stock notification earlier, at a higher stock number. Low Stock Indicator adds a feature to each product page in the catalog configuration, where you can put any number as a low stock mark. You can find this setting at Catalog > Products > any product > Advanced Inventory. As well as in Configuration, the field you need is called ‘Notify for Quantity Below’. If no custom number is added, the system will use the value you set in configuration and you will get the report according to it.
For example, if a default value for all products is set for 4, you get the report for any product that reached 4 items in the stock. If for some of them this number is 5, you will get situational reports specifically when they reach that quantity.
