Magento 2 low stock alert: reorder in time instead of selling out
With the Magento 2 low stock alert from Mironsoft your team receives an email as soon as a product or a whole category falls below the defined minimum stock. You set the threshold globally, per category or per product, and the email goes to purchasing, the warehouse or any address. An overview in the admin shows all open alerts at a glance.
Threshold per product
Every product can have its own minimum stock that overrides the global value.
Rules per category
A whole category shares one threshold with its own recipients.
Instant or digest
Choose one email per event or a daily digest with all items.
Alert only once
After triggering no further email follows until the stock was above the threshold again.
Overview in the admin
A grid lists open alerts with stock, threshold and time.
Exceptions
Products without stock management or phase-out items are excluded from the check.
Why a Magento 2 low stock alert protects revenue
A sold-out bestseller costs twice: the lost revenue and the visibility in search and price comparisons. That is why merchants search for a Magento 2 low stock alert, for a Magento 2 minimum stock email or for a reorder point for purchasing. Magento offers a threshold for the stock status but sends no message to your team.
Without an alert staff check stock by hand or notice gaps only through customer questions. The Magento 2 low stock alert turns that around: the system speaks up as soon as it gets tight, and you reorder while goods are still on the shelf.
Magento 2 low stock alert: threshold global, per category and per product
Three levels determine the minimum stock: a global default, a value per category and a value on the product. The more specific value wins. That way fast movers report earlier than slow sellers without you touching every product. The field appears in the product edit form, and a mass action sets values for many products at once.
- Global default, category rule and product value
- More specific value overrides the general one
- Mass action in the product grid
Admin email on low inventory: instant or digest
You choose the recipients per rule: purchasing gets alerts for its product groups, the warehouse for others. An instant email goes out when the value is undercut, the digest summarises all items of a day in one table with SKU, name, stock and threshold. You maintain the template per store view, and a test email shows the result in advance.
- Recipients per rule, several addresses possible
- Instant email or daily digest at a fixed time
- Test email from the configuration
Hysteresis: one alert until stock is refilled
To keep your inbox from overflowing, the low stock alert triggers only once per product. Only when the stock was above the threshold again can the next alert follow. Optionally the module reminds you once more after a configurable number of days if the product is still tight. Stock changes through orders, cancellations, imports and manual corrections are checked alike.
- One alert per product until refilled
- Reminder after X days optional
- Check after order, cancellation, import and correction
Open stock alerts in the admin grid
In the admin you find a list of all open alerts with SKU, name, current stock, threshold and time. You filter by category, export as CSV for the purchase list and close alerts by hand when you deliberately do not reorder. Access is controllable through an ACL resource. The module works with the stock Magento reports, also with several stock sources.
- Grid with filters and CSV export
- Manual closing of an alert
- Own ACL resource, stock per source checkable
Where the Magento 2 low stock alert helps in daily shop work
Four typical situations for purchasing and warehouse.
Fast movers in a sale
Before a promotion you set higher thresholds for the advertised items, so the Magento 2 low stock alert reports early enough.
Several suppliers
Each category reports to the right buyer, so orders land with the right supplier.
Seasonal goods
Seasonal items get higher values during build-up and no check once they run out.
Small team
Instead of checking stock every day, one digest in the morning with all items running low is enough.

Delimitation from the back-in-stock notification and the admin email
The back-in-stock notification from Mironsoft informs customers when a sold-out product is available again. The Magento 2 low stock alert faces inward, towards your team, and fires before the product is sold out. The general admin notification is a different module too: it reports events, while the low stock alert checks thresholds per product and category.
All modules can be combined. This one runs in the admin and by cron, so the frontend carries no load and Hyvä and Alpine.js are not affected.
No download, personal setup instead
Low Stock Alert is not listed here as a ready-made download file for self-installation. The purchase is a service commission: we get in touch after the purchase, install the module in your shop and agree on thresholds, recipients and email rhythm together with you.
