Shopify Inventory Analyzer – Find Dead Stock and Reorder Points

Shopify's inventory CSV tells you what you have, but not what is sitting too long or running out too fast. This Shopify inventory analyzer reads your export and shows slow movers, calculates days of stock remaining, and flags reorder points based on your actual sales velocity. Upload your file and get a sortable table with velocity, stock days, and reorder alerts in under a minute.

Handling Variants and Bundles

Shopify lists each variant as a separate row with its own SKU and inventory count. The analyzer groups variants under the parent product title so you see total stock and velocity for the style, not just one size or color. If you sell bundles, it tracks the components separately unless you use a bundle app that exports a distinct SKU—in that case, treat the bundle as a standalone product and input its sales velocity manually if needed.

The tool is free for files under 500 SKUs. Larger inventories cost $29 one-time, which includes unlimited re-uploads for 12 months. Upload your file, review the

Common questions

What is a Shopify inventory analyzer?

A Shopify inventory analyzer reads your inventory export and calculates sales velocity, days of stock remaining, and reorder points for each SKU. It identifies slow movers, overstock, and products approaching stockout so you can act before you lose sales or pay for excess storage.

Does this work with Shopify's standard inventory export?

Yes. Export your inventory from Shopify admin under Products > All products > Export, choose CSV, and upload that file. The analyzer reads the Variant Inventory Qty, SKU, and pricing columns directly.

How does it calculate days of stock remaining?

It divides current inventory quantity by your average daily sales velocity. If you upload sales data alongside inventory, it calculates velocity automatically. Without sales data, you can input an average manually or it will flag items by age and quantity alone.

Can it suggest reorder points for each product?

Yes. It calculates reorder points using lead time and sales velocity. You input your supplier lead time once, and it applies the formula across all SKUs, adjusting for products that sell faster or slower.

What counts as a slow mover?

By default, any product with more than 90 days of stock on hand or zero sales in the past 60 days. You can adjust both thresholds to match your business cycle—seasonal stores often use 120 days, fashion retailers use 30.

Does it show the cost of holding dead stock?

Yes. It multiplies inventory quantity by the Variant Price to show total value tied up in each SKU. You can see which slow movers represent the largest cash commitment and prioritize those for discounting or bundling.
