Test variation restock notifications on your own site before relying on them; simple products are unaffected and fully supported. * Fair batching depends on the product tracking a real stock quantity; if stock isn’t managed, all waiting subscribers are notified at once * The manual “Notify next batch” admin action runs synchronously on click; very large pending waitlists (several hundred+) could approach PHP’s execution time limit ### How to Use #### 1. No setup required to start collecting signups As soon as the plugin is active, any **simple product** with stock status “Out of stock” automatically shows an **“Enter your email and we’ll let you know when this is back in stock”** form in place of the normal Add to Cart button (Screenshot 1). There’s nothing to configure to turn this on. #### 2. What a customer sees They enter their email (name is optional) and click **Notify Me**. The form submits over AJAX — no page reload — and immediately confirms **“You’re on the list! We’ll email you when it’s back.”** (Screenshot 2). #### 3. What happens when you restock Update the product’s stock status back to “In stock” (or increase its stock quantity) the normal way, through the product edit screen, a CSV import, or any other plugin. This plugin hooks WooCommerce’s own stock-status-change event — you don’t need to do anything else. Notification jobs are then queued through Action Scheduler (bundled with WooCommerce) and sent in the background, so a large waitlist never blocks your restock save. #### 4. Fair batching for limited restocks If you only restocked a few units, only that many of the **oldest** waiting subscribers are notified — the rest stay queued for the next restock, or you can notify a batch manually (see below). This prevents an email blast promising stock to more people than you actually have. #### 5. Manage the waitlist Go to **WooCommerce > Waitlist** (Screenshot 3) to see every signup with its product, email, name, status (**Waiting** / **Notified**), signup date, and notified date. Search by email or filter by status, and use the **“Notify next batch”** action if you want to trigger a send manually instead of waiting for the next stock update. #### 6. Customize the notification email The notification is a real WooCommerce transactional email under **WooCommerce > Settings > Emails**, so it inherits your store’s email header/footer styling automatically and its subject/heading are editable there like any other WooCommerce email. #### 7. Unsubscribing Every notification email includes a one-click unsubscribe link that needs no login— customers who no longer want restock alerts can remove themselves instantly. ## Screenshots [⌊The "Notify Me" signup form, shown automatically on an out-of-stock product.⌉⌊ The "Notify Me" signup form, shown automatically on an out-of-stock product.⌉[ The “Notify Me” signup form, shown automatically on an out-of-stock product.
