The gap
Retailers and business owners struggle to manually track and notify customers about back-in-stock items. Current tools like HotStock and TrackaLacker focus on consumers trying to beat bots, rather than providing a B2B solution for merchants to manage customer demand.
What people say
“Once you lower the quantity and some items go out of stock for a while, people may start asking you to let them know when it’s back in stock. I had that happen a lot. I used excel to keep track of it and it became a lot of work. I upgraded to Etsy Plus which automated the process.”
Manually tracking customer requests for back-in-stock notifications is time-consuming
View original“I pay for the premium subscription, and honestly the alerts are very inconsistent. you can see price going through them and they still dont trigger regardless of alertt settings. Will have to look for another platform with better reliability”
Premium price alerts are inconsistent and fail to trigger even when price thresholds are met
