STOQ vs Globo: which preorder and back-in-stock app is right for your store?

Both run preorders and restock alerts. Globo is a bit cheaper, email-first pick. STOQ costs more and does more with it: SMS alerts, B2B and POS preorders, and reporting that shows recovered revenue. Past email, that's the gap.

Beyond the checklist

The differences that matter

Both apps handle the basics of preorders and restock alerts. These are the four places the choice actually comes down to.

Reach customers by SMS, not just email

Globo

Globo sends restock alerts by email only. It can collect a phone number, but only to hand off to another tool, so there's no SMS built in.

✓
STOQ

STOQ texts customers the moment stock is back, with native SMS (plus Klaviyo and Postscript if you use them). On a limited restock, a text gets read in minutes where an email sits unopened.

Sell B2B and in person, not just online

Globo

Globo's preorders are online-store only. There's no B2B and no POS, so wholesale buyers and in-person shoppers can't preorder at all.

✓
STOQ

STOQ runs preorders for B2B customers (on Shopify Plus) and on Shopify POS, right alongside your online store, so you capture the sale wherever it happens.

Deposits without a catch

Globo

Globo splits payments into two models, each with a catch. One auto-charges the balance, but only on Shopify Payments or PayPal. The other takes more gateways but collects by a reminder email the customer must act on, and caps partial-payment carts at one item.

✓
STOQ

STOQ charges the balance automatically on Shopify Payments or Stripe, lets customers choose full payment or a deposit, and can run pay-later with nothing upfront.

See the revenue, not just the signups

Globo

Globo's reporting is light: signup counts and summary emails, without conversion or recovered-revenue numbers.

✓
STOQ

STOQ reports the full funnel for preorders and restock alerts — signups, conversions, and the revenue you recovered — so you can see what to restock next and what it earned you.

Done in an afternoon

Switching is simple

Switching to STOQ doesn't mean starting over. If you have signups in another app, bring them with you, and your customers keep getting restock alerts on time. Three steps:

Install STOQ

Pick a plan, then follow the onboarding steps — or book a support call and we'll set it up with you.

Export your data

Export your subscriber list from your current app.

Import to STOQ

Upload the file into STOQ's import template. Subscribers keep their email, phone, consent, and language, and alerts keep going out.

FAQ’s

STOQ vs Globo: quick answers

What's the difference between STOQ and Globo?
Both do preorders and back-in-stock alerts on Shopify. STOQ adds native SMS restock alerts, B2B and POS selling, two-way Klaviyo, and revenue reporting. Globo is email-only for alerts and is the cheaper app.
Is STOQ a good Globo alternative?
Yes, especially if you want to text customers about restocks, sell B2B or on POS, or see the revenue your preorders bring in. STOQ is rated 5.0 across 3,400+ reviews and is Built for Shopify.
Does Globo send SMS restock alerts?
No. Globo sends restock alerts by email only. STOQ sends by email and native SMS (and can use Klaviyo or Postscript for SMS too).
Does Globo support B2B or POS preorders?
No. Globo's preorders are online-store only. STOQ runs preorders for B2B (Shopify Plus) and on Shopify POS.
Does Globo charge transaction fees?
No — and neither does STOQ. Both charge 0% transaction fees, so the difference is the monthly plan, not a cut of your sales.
Is Globo cheaper than STOQ?
Yes. Globo runs from free to $19.90 a month; STOQ runs from free to $69. STOQ costs more because it adds SMS, B2B, POS, and reporting Globo doesn't have.
Can customers choose full payment or a deposit in Globo?
No. In Globo the merchant sets one option per preorder. In STOQ, you can let customers choose full payment or a deposit at checkout.
How do I switch from Globo to STOQ?
Export your restock waitlist from Globo as a CSV, then import it in STOQ under Back in stock alerts → Integrations → Import data. STOQ maps the columns and keeps each subscriber's email, phone, consent, signup date, and language.
Will I lose my subscribers if I switch from Globo?
No. The CSV import carries over your whole waitlist with each subscriber's consent. Most stores finish the move in an afternoon.
