If a product is renamed will customers still be notified?

Yes. Watchlyst – Price Alerts will continue to send price drop notifications as long as you edit an existing product variant instead of creating a new one.

The app tracks subscriptions using Shopify's internal variant ID, which remains the same when you update most product details.

Changes That Preserve Existing Alerts

You can safely update the following information without affecting existing price alert subscriptions:

  • Product title
  • Product price
  • Product description
  • SKU
  • Other editable variant details that do not create a new variant

Since the variant ID remains unchanged, Watchlyst will continue monitoring the variant and notify subscribed customers when their target price is reached.
