FAQs – notim app

What should we do once save email addresses on the email setup page?

Well, we will check the Inventory Warning Level value against your store’s all published product quantity/inventory before sending you an inventory reminder. So reminder email will display all published products that meet EQUAL to warning level and may soon become Out Of Stock with its remaining quantity/inventory if any. E.g. So, if you want to receive a reminder when any published product(s) quantity/inventory reached 10 then you need to put 10 as the Inventory Warning Level value, and we will send you a reminder whenever any published product has quantity/inventory as 10.

What is Additional Inventory Warning Levels By-Products/Variants on the settings page?

Well, By Setting this option you can set up Inventory Warning Levels By Individual Products or Variants. Eg. If one or more products selling faster in your store compare to other products.
