Why most Shopify stores miss out on thousands in monthly revenue — and how to fix it with 95% forecast accuracy

‍

When your store runs out of inventory, customers don’t wait — they bounce. And with every bounce, you’re not just losing a sale. You’re losing trust. You’re losing future orders. And worst of all, you’re handing money to your competitors.

‍

But here's the thing: stockouts are preventable.

‍

Let’s talk about how.

‍

5 inventory metrics every Shopify operator should track

‍

If you’ve been operating your store like a spreadsheet balancing act — ordering when you "feel" you're low, or relying on suppliers' best guesses — you’re already behind. Demand shifts fast, and your gut can’t scale.

‍

According to our data, even top-performing Shopify stores miss 5–15% of monthly revenue because of understocking on their bestsellers. You built a brand — don’t let poor inventory habits undo it.

‍

AI demand forecasting isn’t a luxury. It’s the new normal

‍

‍
