Alerts For Merch keeps a constant eye on your favorite artists' official stores and notifies you in real time as soon as something happens. WHAT YOU GET - New drops: a product shows up in the store, you know right away - Restocks: a sold-out item is back in stock, size by size - Price drops: sales detected automatically - Sell-outs: know when a product is gone Every notification shows the product photo and opens its page directly. WIDGETS (iOS 17 or later) - Artist: stock, latest alerts and the next drop for the artist of your choice - Alerts: the latest alerts, filtered by artist, category and country - Upcoming: a countdown to the next drop - Live and Stats: today's activity and the last 30 days - On your Home Screen and Lock Screen WATCH A PRODUCT Love an item? Turn on "Watch this product" on its page: you get a notification as soon as it's back in stock or drops in price, even if you don't follow the artist. The page also shows its price in the other stores (FR, EU, US, UK) and its history: restocks, sell-outs and how fast it sold out. ALERT STUDIO Choose exactly what you want to receive: - By artist and by store (FR, EU, US, UK) - By alert type (new drop, restock, sale) - By product category (apparel, music, accessories...) - By size: every size actually offered, including UK, Youth and kids An estimate shows how many alerts you would have received last month with your settings. LIVE AND COMING UP - Live: every alert, across all stores, the moment it happens - Coming up: announced drops, with a countdown and a reminder 10 minutes before - Stores closed behind a password are flagged: often a sign a drop is coming TWO CHANNELS Instant push notifications, email, or both. Change your mind anytime and unsubscribe in one tap. SIMPLE AND FREE No account, no subscription, no ads. Pick your artists, turn on notifications, that's it. The app is available in English and French. HISTORY AND STATS Find your alerts from the last 14 days, the latest events for each store, and "AFM in numbers": the hours when restocks happen and the fastest sell-outs.
