Out-of-Stock Police: Improve Customer Experience and SEO
Updated April 4, 2023.
Products going out of stock is a predicament that Shopify merchants have to deal with on a regular basis. This can result from products being in high demand or because things are slow on your suppliers' end. Either way, you'll want to maintain the customer’s satisfaction with your brand and communicate that products are out of stock. Enter Out‑of‑Stock Police, the first app to automatically push out-of-stock items down to the bottom of your collection.
Out‑of‑Stock Police enables Shopify sellers to organize products on their online shop that are temporarily out of stock. The company behind the app, EGNITION, strives to support online sellers in keeping their inventory organized and visible, ultimately improving their final ROI and reducing operating costs.
The app is effortless to install. All you have to do is enable collections for the app, and Out-Of-Stock Police handles the rest.
Boost Your SEO
The app keeps out-of-stock products live for better SEO, but not at the expense of your user experience.
Since out-of-stock pages are still indexed, and customers searching for these products increase store visibility, you can benefit from organic traffic to out-of-stock products and increase quality leads. Instead of deleting out-of-stock product listings, you can let buyers know that these items will be restocked by showing them and even offering special coupons and discounts.
Tag Out-of-Stock Products
Apply tags to all out-of-stock items to create smart collections, providing an elegant solution to move products in or out. And, for your convenience, these tags are automatically removed when an item comes back in stock.
View Statistics Per Collection
The app makes it easy to view whether collections are well-stocked or coming close to emptying. You can set custom thresholds for reporting to know exactly when to restock, saving you time.
Key Benefits of Out-of-Stock Police
- Push out-of-stock products down in collections
