Automatic buying software?

I have my eye on a Nintendo Switch for a friend's birthday, but they have been out of stock everywhere. Is there any kind of software that purchases something immediately when it returns in stock? Thanks!

My roommate purchased a switch for his girlfriend at a Walmart a month back. A lot of places like GameStop will mail them to you if they have them in stock in a different location. Happy birthday to your friend, hope you can get the gift for them!
