Pre-Orders And Back In Stock Alerts: Restocked 500, Emailed 10,000

Pre-Orders And Back In Stock Alerts: Restocked 500, Emailed 10,000

Sold out does not have to mean lost sales. Out-of-stock product pages leak demand every week that Shopify brands could capture with preorders.

In this episode, Sandesh Kulai, CEO of STOQ, breaks down:

  • Why batching back in stock alerts to your actual restock quantity beats notifying the entire waitlist
  • When to collect full payment upfront versus a deposit, and what Shopify Payments requires
  • How waitlist and preorder data tells you what to reorder before your next purchase order

Whether you're doing $20K months or $2M months, this conversation delivers strategies you can test this week.
