In short

How do I catch new Zen Cart orders and stockouts every morning?

WebRun checks your Zen Cart admin every morning for new orders and products that have hit zero stock, posts a combined digest to Telegram, and texts you through Twilio if a fast selling product runs out. A self hosted store owner catches a stockout the same morning instead of losing sales for days before noticing.

  • Stockouts get caught the same morning, not days later
  • Orders and stock issues arrive in one digest
  • Critical items reach you by text immediately

Questions, answered

Does it restock products or process orders?

No. WebRun only reads what's already in your Zen Cart admin and reports it. Restocking and order processing stay manual.

How does it know a stockout is critical?

It flags a product as critical if it was selling regularly before hitting zero stock, since that's the kind of stockout that costs sales fastest.

Can I run this more than once a day?

Yes. The schedule is yours to set, some stores run it morning and evening during busy periods.

Put this on autopilot.
