Help me set up an effective low stock alert system for my Shopify store. I sell [PRODUCT_TYPE] and need to be notified before items run out.

Here are my requirements:


  Set different low stock thresholds based on product category:
    
      Fast-moving items ([FAST_CATEGORY]): alert when stock drops below [FAST_THRESHOLD] units.
      Standard items ([STANDARD_CATEGORY]): alert when stock drops below [STANDARD_THRESHOLD] units.
      Slow-moving items ([SLOW_CATEGORY]): alert when stock drops below [SLOW_THRESHOLD] units.
    
  
  Configure notification delivery so that:
    
      Email alerts go to [EMAIL_ADDRESS] for all low stock events.
      Critical stockouts (zero inventory) trigger an urgent notification immediately.
      Weekly summary reports of all items approaching their thresholds are generated.
    
  
  For each alert, include the following data points:
    
      Current quantity on hand at each location.
      Average daily sales velocity over the past [DAYS] days.
      Estimated days until stockout based on current sales rate.
      Suggested reorder quantity based on supplier lead time of [LEAD_TIME_DAYS] days.
    
  
  Exclude discontinued products and items tagged [EXCLUDE_TAG] from alerts.


Please review my current product catalog and recommend the optimal threshold settings based on my recent sales data.
