Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install **StockBeacon – Product Waitlists for WooCommerce** from the WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. Ensure **WooCommerce** is installed, active, and meets the minimum version (see FAQ). 4. Open **WooCommerce Waitlist** to review settings and subscriber data. ## FAQ ### Does this plugin require WooCommerce? Yes. This plugin runs only when WooCommerce is active. If WooCommerce is missing, the plugin shows an admin notice and does not initialize. ### Which versions do I need? StockBeacon requires WordPress **6.0+**, PHP **8.0+**, and WooCommerce **8.0+**. ### Do customers get emailed automatically when I restock? Yes. When a tracked waitlist item changes back to in stock, the plugin schedules background notification batches automatically. Pro adds delivery timing controls and restock reminders. ### Where do I manage waitlist subscribers? Use **WooCommerce Waitlist** in wp-admin to review subscribers, filter waitlists, view activity, export CSV files, and run debug checks. You also get waitlist visibility in the WooCommerce product list and in each product’s **Waitlist** product-data tab. ### Does it work with variable products? Yes. StockBeacon creates separate per-variation waitlists, so each size, color, or style can collect its own subscribers and trigger its own restock notifications. ### Is there a shortcode or block? Shortcode and block support are **Pro** features. In free, the notify form is shown automatically on eligible out-of-stock product pages. ### Can I customize the notify form? Yes. The plugin includes the default responsive form and lets developers override the template with `stockbeacon-product-waitlists-for-woocommerce/form-out-of-stock. php` in the active theme. Pro adds the visual form editor, presets, colors, layout controls, and live preview. ### How do I export subscriber data? Open **WooCommerce Waitlist**, optionally choose product/status/date filters, and click **Download CSV**. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “StockBeacon – Product Waitlists for WooCommerce” is open source software.
