# Setting Up Low Stock Notifications

Proactively manage your inventory and prevent stockouts with **eHub Ship's Low Stock Notifications**. This feature allows you to set inventory thresholds and receive email alerts when any product’s available quantity drops below your defined limit.

This guide covers:

1. [Setting an account-wide default threshold](https://knowledge.ehub.com/setting-up-low-stock-notifications#threshold)
2. [Setting product-specific thresholds](https://knowledge.ehub.com/setting-up-low-stock-notifications#product-threshold)
3. [Opting in to receive low inventory email alerts](https://knowledge.ehub.com/setting-up-low-stock-notifications#emails)

---

### **1. Set a Default Low Stock Threshold (Account-Wide)**

Apply a default low inventory alert threshold across all products in your account.

1. From the left-hand menu, navigate to **Settings**
2. Under the **INVENTORY** section, click on **Configurations**
3. In the **Default Low Inventory Threshold (Optional)** field, enter your general alert quantity (e.g., 25)
4. Click **Save**

Any product will be flagged as "low stock" when its available quantity falls below this number—unless a product-specific threshold is set.

---

### **2. Set a Product-Level Low Stock Threshold**

Use this to override the account-wide threshold for specific, high-priority products.

1. Go to **Inventory \> Products**
2. Search for and select the product
3. In the **Locations** tab, scroll down to **SKU Low Inventory Threshold (Optional)**
4. Enter your desired value (e.g., 40)
5. This threshold will now take precedence for this product

---

### **3. Opt-In to Email Notifications**

Thresholds enable tracking, but users must **opt in** to receive alerts.

1. From the left-hand menu, go to **Settings \> Users**
2. Select your user profile
3. Under **Email Notifications**, check the box for **Low Inventory**
4. In the **Notification Email** field, enter the email address for receiving alerts
5. Click **Save**

> **Note:** When you opt in to notifications, alerts will be sent not only for your own account but also for any sub-accounts linked to your user profile.

**What the Email Looks Like**  
You’ll receive a summary email with:

- Current quantity
- Committed quantity
- Units sold in the last 30 days
- A distinction between **newly low** items and those already flagged
