How to get notified when an out-of-stock item is back
When you track a product with AnyTracker, it records its price over time automatically, so once you’ve been tracking something for a while, you can look back at the full history, even offline, to see exactly how the price has moved. See how to set up tracking if you haven’t already.
Popular products sell out fast, and by the time you notice they’re back, they can be gone again within minutes. Instead of manually refreshing a page hoping to catch it, you can set up an alert that tells you the moment it’s available again.
Why manual refreshing doesn’t work
High-demand restocks (limited sneakers, new tech releases, seasonal items) often sell out again within minutes of coming back. Checking a page every so often means you’re competing against people who get notified instantly the moment stock appears.
How to set up a back-in-stock alert with AnyTracker
Open the product page in AnyTracker the same way you would for a price (see the full setup guide if you haven’t tracked anything yet), and instead of tracking the price number, set it to watch for the “out of stock” text or button state on the page. When that changes, you get a push notification right away, so you can act before it sells out again.
Tips for tracking high-demand restocks
- Set the check interval as low as the app allows for anything you expect to restock fast.
- Track the specific product page directly, not a category or search results page, so the tool is watching the exact status you care about.
- If a page is difficult to track automatically, our troubleshooting guide covers a workaround using your browser’s developer tools.
