Set Reorder Thresholds

Explains how to set account-wide and SKU-specific reorder thresholds for ShipStation's internal inventory, and how to view low stock count alerts.

ShipStation can show you alerts on the Inventory grid when your stock is low. Set a threshold to define what low is.

Set thresholds either with:

  • An account-wide setting, or

  • A SKU-specific setting.

ShipStation will display an alert when the total number of stock, including on-hand and allocated stock, reaches your defined number.

Important

Setting an SKU-specific threshold will override the account-wide threshold for inventory alert purposes.

Account-wide Reorder Threshold

SKU-specific Reorder Threshold

Important

Any ShipStation alerts around reorder thresholds will refer to this SKU-specific value rather than any account-wide default.
