Slingshot helps you recover sales from products that are temporarily unavailable.
How it works
- A shopper selects an unavailable product variant.
- Slingshot shows a signup form on the product page.
- The shopper enters their email address.
- When Shopify reports that exact variant as available again, Slingshot queues a notification.
- Slingshot sends the email and records delivery, clicks, conversions, and attributed revenue.
Slingshot always checks current Shopify inventory before sending. It does not notify shoppers for a different size, color, or variant.
What you manage in the app
- Home: See signups, notifications, conversions, revenue, and recent activity.
- Signups: Review people waiting for a product or variant.
- Notifications: Follow sent, delivered, failed, and clicked emails.
- Products: Understand demand and performance by product or variant.
- Customizations: Change the signup form and notification email.
- Settings: Manage store information, email settings, language, and billing.
Slingshot currently sends email notifications. SMS and WhatsApp are not part of the merchant-facing product.
What Slingshot does not change
Slingshot does not update inventory, publish products, or change Shopify orders. Shopify remains the source of truth for products, variants, inventory, and purchases.
