Restock alerts silently stop sending with no warning, and merchants only find out after messages pile up

What's going wrong
Merchants using back-in-stock notification apps report that restock emails and texts stop going out with no warning. Some apps keep showing messages as sent while customers receive nothing, and others leave thousands of messages pending for weeks or years. Owners of small ecommerce shops and brands running big product launches both report the gap, and many only found out after customers complained or sales were lost. Several reporters were paying monthly fees for a service that had quietly stopped working. The opportunity is a monitor that checks real delivery status and warns the store owner as soon as restock alerts stall.
