What we do for you
What to expect
You won't need to configure anything from scratch. Once we're done, you'll receive a handoff summary covering everything that was set up — so you know exactly what's running and how to manage it going forward. 🙌
Advanced features
For more advanced flows — targeted campaigns by collection, multi-step discount logic, etc. — our team will walk you through the setup step by step. The goal is for you to be able to manage and iterate on your campaigns independently after migration.
Why we’re deactivating FoxKit Back in stock
FoxKit's Back in Stock was designed as a simple notification tool — one email when a product restocks. That was enough when it launched.
But based on real merchant feedback, that model has real limits:
A single email gets missed or ignored, and customers who don't act immediately may find the product out of stock again by the time they return.
There's no way to follow up with customers who didn't convert
You can't offer a discount in the notification or at the moment someone subscribes
There's no internal team alert, no push notification, no segmentation
Rather than patching a limited system, we built XFlow from the ground up — designed specifically to convert back-in-stock demand into actual sales, not just send a notification.

What happens to your existing subscriber list
Your subscriber list is not lost. XFlow supports a one-click migration of all pending subscriptions (customers who haven't yet received a restock notification) directly from FoxKit.
Migration takes under a minute. Once migrated, your subscribers will automatically follow whichever XFlow campaign you've created.
How to migrate — step by step

From this point on:
Restock notifications are sent based on your XFlow workflow
Timing, follow-ups, and conditions are handled automatically
No further action is required
You’re now fully set up to manage Back in stock automation with XFlow. 🎉
Common questions
Will my current FoxKit subscriber list be lost?
No. All pending subscriptions can be migrated to XFlow in one step before the deadline.
Do I need to reconfigure everything from scratch?
Not if you use our CS-assisted migration. We'll rebuild your setup in XFlow and match what you had in FoxKit, or assist you in improving on it.
Is XFlow free?
XFlow is currently free to install and use. Pricing will be introduced in the future — existing users will receive advance notice, preferential terms, and special discounts for early adopters.
Who built XFlow?
XFlow is built by the same FoxEcom team that built FoxKit. It's not a third-party app.
