About this plugin
Tired of manually checking WooCommerce product stock levels one by one? The Low Stock Alert & Inventory Filter for WooCommerce plugin adds a powerful, one-click “Low Stock” filter view directly inside your WooCommerce Products admin screen — so you can instantly see every product that needs restocking, without scrolling through hundreds of SKUs.
Whether you manage 10 products or 10,000 SKUs, this plugin gives you instant visibility into your inventory health with zero bloat, zero front-end impact, and full WooCommerce HPOS compatibility.
🔥 Why Store Owners Love This Plugin
- Instant Low Stock Dashboard — Adds a “Low Stock” link alongside All, Published, Draft, and Trash on the WooCommerce Products admin screen. One click = instant low stock overview.
- Configurable Stock Threshold — Set your own stock threshold (default: 5 units). Products at or below this number appear in your filtered view.
- Variable Product & Variation Support — Automatically detects low stock on individual product variations. If any variation is running low, the parent product appears in your filtered list.
- Email Notifications & Alerts — Optionally receive an instant email alert when any product drops below a specified stock level, so you never miss a restock opportunity.
- Backorder & Draft Filtering — Choose whether to include backorder-allowed products and draft products in your low stock view.

- HPOS Compatible — Fully declared compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS / Custom Order Tables).
- Zero Front-End Impact — Runs exclusively on admin screens. Absolutely zero impact on your store’s front-end speed or customer experience.
- WordPress 7.1 & WooCommerce 9.5+ Compatible — Tested and confirmed working with the latest WordPress and WooCommerce releases.
- GDPR & Privacy Compliant — No data collection, no external API calls, no telemetry, no cookies.
