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.
