Running low alerts, purchase orders, bundles and pre-orders

Know what is running low, order it from your supplier, sell bundles and take pre-orders, all from PlatformDTC.

  • Running low. The Inventory page and Home show the items that are out of stock, under your threshold, or will run out in under two weeks at their sales pace, with how many to reorder. Your team gets one email when an item first runs low. Change the rule (units or days) or turn the email off on the Inventory page. See Inventory.
  • Purchase orders. Under Suppliers → Purchase orders, order stock from a Supplier Network supplier or anyone you buy from. Reorder on a low item fills in the quantities for you. Sending emails the order from your store's address; replies come to you. When the goods arrive, Receive adds them to your stock and updates each item's cost to what you paid, so your profit stays right.
  • Bundles. Sell items together as one product (2 socks + 1 hat). A bundle can sell as many as its items make, each sale takes the items from stock, shoppers see what it contains, and your packing list shows the items.
  • Pre-orders. Keep selling an item when it is out of stock with a ship date. Shoppers see "Ships by" on the product page, at checkout and in their order email. Customers pay when they order. It stops on its own after the date.

New for agents
