What is slow-moving inventory?
Slow-moving inventory sells infrequently relative to your catalog average. On Shopify, it often shows up as variants with low 30-day and 90-day order velocity, rising days-since-last-sale, and cash tied up in units on hand.
Why it matters before products become dead stock
The earlier you act, the more pricing power you keep. Once a SKU is dead stock, you are choosing between deep discounts and write-offs. Cart upsells in the consideration phase — when a related product is already in cart — convert better than rescue campaigns later.

What is inventory value at risk in StockLift?
A conservative estimate based on add-on price and units on hand (capped). It shows exposure from slow stock — not a revenue guarantee.
