Happify Dead Stock Rescue
See the cash tied up in dead stock and a plan to clear it
See the cash in aging, slow and dead stock, which variants are stuck, and how to clear them.
Features
Everything below is in the app today. Plan labels show where a feature starts.
Import products, stock and sales
The first import reads products, inventory, locations, unit costs and orders. Inventory and ageing work even before order history is approved.
Score every variant
Each variant is healthy, watch, slow, dying, dead or overstocked from its sales velocity and how long the stock has sat.
See the cash at risk
The Cash board adds up the value in at-risk stock wherever a unit cost is set, by risk and by age, and flags size and variant imbalances.
Get a clearance plan
Each stuck item gets recovery options: clearance, a first markdown, bundle, gift with purchase, cross-sell, better placement, restocking sold-out sizes or pausing reorders. You approve, dismiss or mark done; the app never changes prices or stock.

The store it runs on
Happify Dead Stock Rescue runs inside the Shopify admin, so this link opens the storefront it works on — fictional products and orders — not the app itself. The password is happify. To see the app itself, look at the screens at the top of this page.
What Dead Stock Rescue does on this store
- Open the aging report: fast sellers running low next to slow and dead lines with months of cover.
- See the cash tied up in dead stock (unit costs are set on every variant).
- Seasonal summer pieces are tagged so they are not flagged as dead.
- Pick a recovery action: markdown, bundle or clearance.
Pricing
Every plan starts with a 21-day free trial. Prices are in US dollars per month and billed by Shopify on your Shopify invoice.

Built for
A good fit for
- Fashion, footwear and home stores with sizes and colours that sell unevenly
- Stores with a few hundred to many thousand variants and unit costs in Shopify
- Teams that want a weekly list of what to clear, bundle or stop buying
Not built for
- Setting prices or automatic repricing: the app says when a markdown is worth trying, never changes prices, and most of its options are not price cuts
- Purchase orders, supplier management or demand forecasting
- Stores with very little order history; velocity needs sales to measure
You will need
- Unit costs set on variants in Shopify, for any money figures
- Shopify’s protected customer data approval for orders, for sales velocity
Will the app change my prices or inventory?
No. Recommendations are suggestions you approve, dismiss or mark done. The only change the app can make in Shopify is the “stock-rescue:restock” product tag, when you use “Mark for restock”.
How is this different from Shopify’s pricing recommendations?
Shopify’s free Smart Pricing app suggests product prices, such as markdowns for slow sellers and markups for fast sellers, from your sales, inventory, costs and seasonality. Dead Stock Rescue answers a different question: how much cash is tied up in aging, slow and dead stock, which variants are stuck and why, and what to do about each one. Most of its options are not price changes: bundle, cross-sell, gift with purchase, better placement, restock the sold-out sizes first, or pause reorders. The two work side by side: when a markdown is the right move, you can set the new price with Smart Pricing or your own judgement.
How is dead stock defined?
A variant with no sale in 180 days is dead. Sales down by half or more against the previous month is dying, more than 240 days of stock is overstocked, and 90 or 60 days mark slow and watch. Settings explains each rule.
Why are some money figures missing?
Cash at risk is only summed for variants with a unit cost in Shopify. A banner shows what share of units has no cost, and tiles ask you to add unit costs.
Can I exempt seasonal products?
Yes. Add the product tag “seasonal” in Shopify and the product is left out of the risk scoring.
Why does the trial last 21 days?
Ageing and velocity need real stock and sales history. A longer trial gives the first import time to finish and the scores time to settle.
Can I ask Sidekick about dead stock?
Yes, on any plan. Ask Sidekick in Shopify admin about dead stock or your inventory risk summary. Answers are read-only and come from the same analysis.
