What Are Low Supply Notifications & Smart Reorders?

Alexa can notify you or reorder essential items when you're running low.

After connecting a device with Alexa that is compatible with smart reorders, like a printer, Alexa activates low supply notifications automatically.

With low supply notifications, you’ll receive notifications for compatible products when your supply is running low.

Alternatively, you can activate smart reorders for automatic reordering on products you choose when Alexa detects low supply.

Note: Low supply notifications and smart reorders can’t be active at the same time. If you activate smart reorders, it turns off low supply notifications. And if you activate low supply notifications, it turns off smart reorders.

Additional things to know:

  • You can deactivate low supply notifications and smart reorders together in the Alexa app.
  • When low supply notifications are active, you'll receive notifications via email and on any Echo devices you own.
    • You can order products from the notification email or by voice confirmation on your Echo device.
    • If you don’t have an Echo device, you can still use low supply notifications and smart reorders in the Alexa app.
    • You might also get notifications about low supplies on the Amazon Shopping app or website.
  • When you activate smart reorders, you can choose products to automatically reorder during setup.
    • You can only set smart reorders for items that appear on the smart reorder setup screen on your device.
