FAQ

Safety Buffer — frequently asked questions.

What is Safety Buffer on Shopify?
Safety Buffer is a Shopify app in the Inventory optimization category. Manage inventory risk by creating automated safety stock buffers that protect your brand from overselling. Our app moves a portion of your inventory into a reserved state, ensuring you never sell your last few units during high-traffic flash sales or across multiple channels like TikTok and POS. Use built-in simulation tools to dry run your rules before they go live, eliminating guesswork. Keep your digital inventory accurate and your fulfillment reliable without manual spreadsheet updates.

Methodology

Where the numbers come from.

Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
