How do I use the Stock Alert Feature?

The Stock Alert feature will notify you via email when product's remaining stock runs low. This setting will keep track of inventory for products with or without product options. For example, if you have a product that has the options of small, medium, and large; the stock alert function will automatically notify you if you are running low on the small option.

When the product's inventory reaches below your specified level, an automated email will be sent to the email address specified in your "Merchant Information" section (Go to Settings >General >Store Settings, click on the "Store" tab and look under the email field in Store Information to check which email it'll go to..)
