VERDICT

Should I use Stoqapp (STOQ)?

The #1 preorder app on Shopify - stoqapp.com

Worth it. If you run a Shopify store and lose sales to stockouts or want preorders, STOQ is a well-rated, feature-deep pick. Skip it entirely if you sell anywhere other than Shopify or rarely run out of stock.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources. G2 shows 0 reviews; merchant feedback comes from Shopify App Store, Reddit, and vendor case studies. No public tier pricing found.

Best for

  • Shopify stores that stock out
  • Preorder and deposit launches
  • Brands syncing Klaviyo flows
  • Merchants outgrowing Notify Me

Not for

  • Any store not on Shopify
  • Stores that rarely sell out
  • Guess: teams wanting full inventory planning, not demand capture
  • Buyers who need independent G2-verified reviews first

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

No public tier prices in sources; G2 pricing page exists but details truncated — confirm cost before installing

medium

Category-wide: preorders invite chargebacks and Facebook Shops complaints, practitioners warn

low

Switching apps? Importing customer/waitlist data requires a documented migration process — budget time

low

One brand documented fixing false back-in-stock alerts after adopting it
