Catch restocks as soon as SiteChime spots them.
Sneakers, consoles, GPUs, limited drops, sold-out essentials. SiteChime watches the product page on a schedule and chimes when the next check sees the stock pill flip, the size selector light up, or “Notify me” turn into “Add to cart”.
The problem
By the time the “back in stock” email arrives, it’s gone.
Retailer mailing lists are slow, often batched, and many popular items never even send a back-in-stock notification — the retailer would rather you check yourself. So you end up reloading the same product page during work, on the train, before bed.
SiteChime does the reloading for you. Pick the stock pill or the size selector once, and you’ll hear about the next restock by email, Slack, Discord, or webhook — whichever the rest of your tools live in.
How it works
Public product pages and retailer accounts, both covered.
For public product pages.
Paste the URL of a product page on any public storefront. SiteChime fetches it from our servers on a schedule and compares each snapshot to the previous one.
Hourly checks on Pro · 15-minute checks on Pro+
For retailer accounts and waitlists.
Some retailers gate stock behind an account login, a waitlist queue, or a region selection. Install the Chrome extension, set up the page once in your own browser, and SiteChime watches it from inside your session.
Your password never leaves your machine. Only the extracted page text is uploaded. Get the extension.
What gets monitored
The buttons and tiles that tell you it’s buyable.
Stock state pills
Pick the in-stock / out-of-stock pill on a product page. SiteChime alerts on the flip, with the prior state and the new state in the summary.
Size selector availability
Apparel pages keep size buttons rendered but disabled when out of stock. Pick the size selector block and get pinged when your size is re-enabled.
"Notify me" → "Add to cart"
When the button text flips from "Notify me when available" to "Add to cart", that’s the cleanest restock signal. Pick the button and SiteChime catches it.
Drop pages going live
Limited drop pages often redirect or 404 until the drop starts. Watch the URL and get alerted on the next check after the page loads with real content.
Queue position changes
Waitlist and virtual queue pages show your position. Pick that number and SiteChime tells you when it moves — your turn is closer than you think.
Pre-order opening
Pre-order announcement pages often quietly add a buy button hours before the marketing email goes out. Watch the page and stay ahead of the inbox blast.

Why SiteChime
Built for people who actually intend to buy the thing.
Pick the exact button
The visual section picker lets you watch just the stock pill or buy button. Banner promos, recommendation carousels, and review counts don’t fire false alerts.
Plain-English summary
Each alert leads with what changed in one sentence — "Back in stock", "Size M re-enabled", "Buy button appeared" — so you can decide in two seconds whether to act.
Email, Slack, Discord, webhook
Get restock alerts via email, or push to a Slack DM, Discord channel, or any webhook destination on Pro and above. Personal channels work fine.
Works on logged-in retailer accounts
Browser mode runs from your own signed-in browser session. SiteChime sees what you see — your password never leaves your machine.
No bots, no fakery
SiteChime is a notification service, not a checkout bot. We tell you when something’s buyable; you decide whether to buy it. We don’t add to cart, sign in, or click for you.
Failure transparency
If a retailer starts blocking our checks (geofencing, anti-bot challenges), the dashboard tells you why in plain language so you can flip the watch to browser mode.
FAQ
Common questions about restock monitoring.
How fast will I get a restock alert?
Cloud-mode checks run as often as every 15 minutes on Pro+, hourly on Pro, and daily on Free. Browser-mode checks run on a schedule from your own browser; you can also trigger a manual check at any time. We do not promise instant alerts — the truth is "within your plan’s check interval".
Will SiteChime add the item to my cart for me?
No. SiteChime is a notification service, not a checkout bot. We tell you the item is buyable. You decide whether to buy it. This is intentional — checkout automation gets accounts banned and is against most retailer ToS.
Does this work on Shopify, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart?
It works on any page where the stock state is reflected in the visible text or button label. Major storefronts that bot-protect aggressively (some Amazon pages, ticket sites, sneaker sites with Akamai) may block cloud-mode checks. For those, browser mode runs from your own browser and is far more reliable.
Can I watch only one specific size or variant?
Yes — pick the size selector or variant block on the product page. SiteChime watches that section and alerts you when a specific size is re-enabled, not every time the page reflows.
Do I have to install the extension?
No, only if you want browser mode (for logged-in retailer accounts, waitlist pages, or sites that block cloud checks). Public product pages work in cloud mode with no install.
How does pricing work?
Free includes 5 watches with daily checks. Pro is $9/month for 25 watches with hourly checks plus Slack, Discord, and webhook destinations. Pro+ is $19/month for 50 watches with 15-minute checks and a priority queue.
