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.

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.

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.
