Staff forget. Returns apps skip it. API refunds bypass it entirely. RestockGuard protects your inventory automatically — no human required.

Yes, Shopify has a "Restock items" checkbox — but it defaults to checked, requires manual action on every refund, and doesn't apply to refunds processed through the API or third-party returns apps. RestockGuard closes those gaps automatically.
The checkbox can't catch all of them.
The box defaults to checked. One distracted VA processing 30 refunds in a row, and damaged goods are back in stock before anyone notices.
Automated returns portals and fulfilment integrations trigger refunds via the Shopify API. No checkbox. No choice. Inventory goes up automatically.
Shopify doesn't log whether a restock was intentional or accidental. If inventory is wrong, you're guessing why.
Monitors every refund — UI or API — and reverses unwanted restocks automatically. Full activity log so you always know what happened.
Works on every refund — admin UI, API, returns apps, POS. If it restocked and shouldn't have, RestockGuard reverses it.
Every blocked restock is logged with the order, items, and timestamp. No more guessing why inventory is off.
Expecting a genuine return? Turn protection off temporarily. It's your inventory — you're in control.
Catches restocks from any source: Shopify admin, API integrations, returns portals, and fulfilment apps.
Runs on Cloudflare's global network. Sub-50ms response times. Reversal happens before anyone notices.
No theme modifications. No checkout changes. Completely invisible to your customers.
