How to Calculate Reorder Points in Shopify

Stop guessing when to reorder. Learn the exact reorder point formula and how to set optimal reorder points for every product in your Shopify store.

The Reorder Point Formula

Reorder Point = (Daily Sales × Lead Time Days) + Safety Stock

Example: If you sell 5 units/day, supplier takes 14 days, and you want 30 units safety buffer: (5 × 14) + 30 = 100 units. When stock hits 100, reorder immediately.
