How to Get Alerts for Restocks and New Products: Beat the Bots Guide - Last updated 2026

In today's competitive market for high-demand products, relying on traditional methods like social media accounts, refreshing web stores, or email newsletters simply isn't enough. Bots and automated systems have created an uneven playing field, making it nearly impossible for regular consumers to secure limited products. This guide explains the problem and how Peachy Pings levels the playing field.

Why Traditional Methods Fail

Social Media Accounts

Following brand accounts on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook might seem like a good strategy, but:

• Delayed notifications: Posts often come after products are already live
• Algorithm issues: You might not see posts in your feed
• No real-time alerts: Social media isn't designed for instant product alerts

Refreshing Web Stores

Manually refreshing retailer websites is:

• Time-consuming: Requires constant attention
• Inefficient: You can only monitor a few stores at once
• Unreliable: Easy to miss restocks when you're not actively checking
• Exhausting: Not sustainable for long-term monitoring

Email Newsletters

Email newsletters have significant limitations:

• Delayed delivery: Emails can arrive minutes or hours after products go live
• Spam filters: Important emails might end up in spam
• No instant alerts: Email isn't designed for real-time notifications
• Limited coverage: Most retailers don't send instant restock emails

The Bot Problem

What is a Bot?

A bot (short for robot) is an automated software program that performs tasks faster than humans can. In the context of online shopping, bots are used to:

• Monitor websites for product availability
• Automatically add items to cart when they become available
• Complete checkout processes in seconds
• Purchase large quantities of limited products

How Bots Affect You

Bots create an unfair advantage because they:

• React instantly: Bots can detect and purchase products in milliseconds
• Never sleep: They monitor 24/7 without breaks
• Buy in bulk: Can purchase multiple items simultaneously
• Beat humans: By the time you see a product is available, bots have already bought it

This means that even if you're actively monitoring a product, bots will almost always beat you to the purchase.

The Solution: Peachy Pings Monitoring System

Peachy Pings attempts to even the playing field by giving you access to thousands of monitors that work around the clock, alerting you the moment products become available.

What is a Monitor?

In simple terms, a monitor is like having a dedicated assistant watching a specific product or website for you 24/7. Just like you might ask a friend to watch for a product and text you when it's available, a monitor does this automatically - but faster and more reliably than any human could.

Key characteristics:

• Continuous watching: Monitors check websites constantly, not just when you remember to
• Instant detection: They notice products the moment they become available
• Multiple locations: Can watch hundreds or thousands of products simultaneously
• Never miss: Unlike humans, monitors don't get distracted or forget to check

How Peachy Pings Simplifies Everything

There are often dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of stockists (retailers) selling the same product. Keeping track of these manually isn't feasible - you'd need to:

• Visit each retailer's website regularly
• Remember all the different product pages
• Check multiple times per day
• Monitor dozens of different sites simultaneously

Our infrastructure simplifies this so you only have to keep locked in on one app! Instead of managing hundreds of bookmarks and reminders, you get all your alerts in one place.

How to Get Alerts

Discord Notifications
