About V7 Low Stock Filter
From the official readme · v1.1.0Description
Tired of manually checking WooCommerce product stock levels one by one? The Low Stock Alert & Inventory Filter for WooCommerce plugin adds a powerful, one-click “Low Stock” filter view directly inside your WooCommerce Products admin screen — so you can instantly see every product that needs restocking, without scrolling through hundreds of SKUs.
Whether you manage 10 products or 10,000 SKUs, this plugin gives you instant visibility into your inventory health with zero bloat, zero front-end impact, and full WooCommerce HPOS compatibility.
🔥 Why Store Owners Love This Plugin

- Configurable Stock Threshold — Set your own stock threshold (default: 5 units). Products at or below this number appear in your filtered view.
- Variable Product & Variation Support — Automatically detects low stock on individual product variations. If any variation is running low, the parent product appears in your filtered list.

Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
Yes. Low Stock Alert & Inventory Filter requires WooCommerce to be installed and active. If WooCommerce is not active, the plugin will display an admin notice and gracefully disable itself.
What is the default low stock threshold?
The default threshold is 5 units. You can change this at WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Low Stock.
Does it work with variable products and variations?
Yes! The plugin checks stock levels on individual product variations. If any variation has low stock, the parent variable product will appear in the filtered list.
Will this plugin slow down my WooCommerce store?
Absolutely not. The plugin uses efficient WP_Query calls with optimized meta queries. It only runs on the admin Products screen and has zero impact on your store’s front-end speed.
Does the plugin support WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
Yes. The plugin declares full native compatibility with WooCommerce HPOS / Custom Order Tables.
Can I receive email alerts when stock is low?
Yes! Enable email notifications in the plugin settings. You can set a separate email threshold, and the plugin will send an alert to the WordPress admin email whenever a product drops below that level.
Does the plugin include backorder products in the low stock filter?
By default, no. But you can toggle this option in the settings to include or exclude products that allow backorders.
Does this plugin collect any personal data?

Yes! The plugin is fully tested and confirmed 100% compatible with WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 9.5+.
How is this different from the built-in WooCommerce low stock notification?
