You should not have to sit in your seller account all day to know what is going on. But you do want to hear it when something comes back, or when your best seller is nearly out of stock.

Schakel mails you about it. On a return, on a cancellation request, when an item drops below your stock threshold, and the next morning, a summary of the previous day.

You choose which alerts you want and which addresses they go to. Your colleague or your accountant can be on the list.

Concretely

What it does

  • A mail as soon as a return comes in, with the item and the stated reason.
  • A mail as soon as a cancellation request comes in.
  • A mail when an item drops below your stock threshold. You set the threshold yourself.
  • The next morning, a summary of the previous day, with its orders, returns and cancellations.
  • Alerts go to your account email address, and to any extra addresses you add.
Setting it up

How to switch it on

01

Pick the alerts you want

On or off per type. If you do not want a mail on every event, turn on the daily summary alone.

02

Set your stock threshold

Pick the count at which you want a warning. Allow for how fast you sell and how long your supplier takes.

03

Add extra recipients

Working with someone, or want your accountant to follow along, add their address.

Common questions

Can a colleague or my accountant get them too?

Yes. Alongside your account address you can add as many extra recipients as you like.

Will this not turn into a pile of spam?

You switch on only the types you care about. If you sell a lot, the daily summary alone is often enough, and you leave the individual alerts off.

What is a good stock threshold?

Look at how many of an item you sell per week and how long restocking takes. Set the threshold so new stock arrives before the old runs out.
