**What we do for you**

* [x] Migrate your pending FoxKit subscriber list to XFlow — no data lost
* [x] Activate XFlow Theme Helper on your storefront
* [x] Configure the Notify me form and messages
* [x] Customize your email template to match your store's branding
* [x] Set up your core workflows: subscription confirmation + 2-email restock sequence (notification + follow-up)
* [x] Send you a full setup summary with screenshots, links, and next steps

**What to expect**&#x20;

You won't need to configure anything from scratch. Once we're done, you'll receive a handoff summary covering everything that was set up — so you know exactly what's running and how to manage it going forward. 🙌

**Advanced features**&#x20;

For more advanced flows — targeted campaigns by collection, multi-step discount logic, etc. — our team will walk you through the setup step by step. The goal is for you to be able to manage and iterate on your campaigns independently after migration.

## Why we’re deactivating FoxKit Back in stock

FoxKit's Back in Stock was designed as a simple notification tool — one email when a product restocks. That was enough when it launched.

But based on real merchant feedback, that model has real limits:

* A single email gets missed or ignored, and customers who don't act immediately may find the product out of stock again by the time they return.
* There's no way to follow up with customers who didn't convert
* You can't offer a discount in the notification or at the moment someone subscribes
* There's no internal team alert, no push notification, no segmentation

Rather than patching a limited system, we built **XFlow** from the ground up — designed specifically to convert back-in-stock demand into actual sales, not just send a notification.

## XFlow vs. FoxKit — what's different

<table><thead><tr><th width="434">Feature</th><th>FoxKit BIS</th><th>XFlow</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Notify button &#x26; waitlist capture</td><td>✅</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Automatic restock notifications</td><td>✅</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Subscription confirmation email</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Visual workflow builder (triggers, conditions, actions)</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Follow-up emails (if no purchase)</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Target by product or collection</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Internal team restock alert</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr><tr><td>Push notifications</td><td>❌</td><td>✅</td></tr></tbody></table>

In short: FoxKit notifies. XFlow converts.

## What happens to your existing subscriber list

Your subscriber list is not lost. XFlow supports a one-click migration of all **pending subscriptions** (customers who haven't yet received a restock notification) directly from FoxKit.

Migration takes under a minute. Once migrated, your subscribers will automatically follow whichever XFlow campaign you've created.

## How to migrate — step by step

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Install XFlow

Install **XFlow Back in Stock Automation** from the Shopify App Store.

<a href="https://apps.shopify.com/xflow?utm_source=foxecom&#x26;utm_medium=help_center_foxkit_back_in_stock_deactivation&#x26;utm_campaign=cta_button&#x26;utm_term=install_xflow_here" class="button primary">Install XFlow here</a>

Once installed, open the app to begin setup.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Complete your XFlow setup

Before migrating subscriptions, ensure XFlow is fully configured.

Use XFlow’s visual builder to set up your restock flows. You can start with a simple one-email flow or build advanced flows with timing, conditions, and follow-ups.

* For the basic flow, follow our [step-by-step tutorial](https://youtu.be/zyZZ5rRRHnI?utm_source=foxecom\&utm_medium=help_center_foxkit\&utm_campaign=backinstock_sunsetting)
* Or read the [full guidelines on how to create a campaign.](https://docs.foxecom.com/xflow-app/getting-started/installation/onboarding-checklist?utm_source=foxecom\&utm_medium=help_center_foxify_back_in_stock_deactivation_plan\&utm_campaign=anchor_text\&utm_term=here)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Migrate subscriptions from FoxKit

{% hint style="info" %}
XFlow supports migrating **pending Back in stock subscriptions** only (subscriptions that have not yet received a restock email).
{% endhint %}

To migrate your subscriptions:

{% hint style="success" %}
Steps:

1. Open the **FoxKit** app in your Shopify admin
2. Go to **Settings > General > API Integration**
3. Copy your **API Key.** *Learn more* [How to get API key](/megamog-theme/faq/how-to-get-api-key.md)
4. Open **XFlow** and navigate to **Subscriptions**&#x20;
5. Select **Import**, then paste the API Key into the FoxKit migration section
6. Start the migration process.
   {% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/hYMUmVtuO0o7r6Q0noh0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Once the migration is complete, your subscriptions will automatically follow the XFlow campaign you’ve created. ✅&#x20;

From this point on:

* Restock notifications are sent based on your XFlow workflow
* Timing, follow-ups, and conditions are handled automatically
* No further action is required

You’re now fully set up to manage Back in stock automation with XFlow. :tada:

## Common questions

#### **Will my current FoxKit subscriber list be lost?**&#x20;

No. All pending subscriptions can be migrated to XFlow in one step before the deadline.

#### **Do I need to reconfigure everything from scratch?**&#x20;

Not if you use our CS-assisted migration. We'll rebuild your setup in XFlow and match what you had in FoxKit, or assist you in improving on it.

#### **Is XFlow free?**&#x20;

XFlow is currently free to install and use. Pricing will be introduced in the future — existing users will receive advance notice, preferential terms, and special discounts for early adopters.

#### **Who built XFlow?**&#x20;

XFlow is built by the same FoxEcom team that built FoxKit. It's not a third-party app.
