Hide Out of Stock Push Down alerts tell you when products or variants meet a stock condition. Each alert watches the products you choose and can run on a repeat schedule or when you select Run now. Alerts report matches; they do not change product visibility or collection order.
Choose an action mode
Choose one action mode for each alert. Create more than one alert if you need to watch different conditions.
| Action mode | Use it to find… |
|---|---|
| Low stock | Products at or below a stock threshold you set. |
| Out of stock | Products with no inventory. |
| Published but out of stock | Sold-out products still published on a selected sales channel. |
| Hidden but back in stock | Hidden products whose stock has recovered. |
| Continue selling when out of stock | Variants still available for purchase after stock reaches zero. |
| Restocked | Variants that were restocked recently. |
| Location risk | Variants running low at a selected stock location. |
The settings change with the mode. For example, Low stock asks for a threshold and a way to measure inventory; Location risk asks which locations to measure. See Choose a stock alert action mode for the settings in each mode.
