About Safety Stock
How Safety Stock works
Safety Stock prevents overselling by keeping a buffer of inventory in reserve. Instead of waiting until stock hits zero, the app marks a product as sold out once its available quantity reaches the threshold you set, so the remaining units stay protected for in-store sales, samples, or pending orders. Apply thresholds across your whole store or target specific products, collections, tags, and locations, and set priorities when rules overlap. Rules update automatically as inventory changes.

Key features
- Reserve retail stock so products show sold out before inventory reaches zero
