It adds a clean “Email me when it’s back in stock” form to every out-of-stock WooCommerce product. When you restock, every waiting shopper gets an automatic email so they can come back and buy — often your highest-converting email of the month. It is lightweight, privacy-first, and works out of the box with your existing WooCommerce store and theme. No account required for shoppers, no complicated setup for you. #### Why choose StoreArmory Waitlist? * **Zero setup** — activate it and the sign-up form appears automatically on every out-of-stock simple product. * **Recover real sales** — turn dead “out of stock” traffic into a warm list that converts the day you restock. * **Privacy-first by design** — double opt-in is on by default and full GDPR consent( text, IP and timestamp) is recorded for every sign-up. * **Restocks detected automatically** — works whether you change stock by hand, by CSV import, or from an ERP/inventory sync. * **No lock-in** — your data lives in your own database and every email has one- click unsubscribe. #### Features * **Automatic sign-up form** on out-of-stock simple products — no configuration needed. * **Guest sign-ups** — shoppers join with just an email address, no account required. * **Automatic restock emails** — sent the moment a product is back in stock. * **Double opt-in** — confirm-by-email to protect deliverability and keep clean lists. * **GDPR consent capture** — records the consent text, IP address and timestamp for every sign-up. * **One-click unsubscribe** in every notification email. * **Honeypot + rate limiting** to block spam bots. * **Optional name field** you can switch on with one click. * **Waitlist dashboard** — see how many shoppers are confirmed and waiting on each product. * **Customisable copy** — set the form heading, button label and consent text in plain English. * **Custom From name & email** for every message you send. * **Shortcode** `[bisw_waitlist id="123"]` to drop the form anywhere you like. * **Translation-ready** and fully compatible with WooCommerce **HPOS** and **block- based cart & checkout**. #### Upgrade to Waitlist Pro Free covers email waitlists beautifully. When you are ready to scale, [Waitlist Pro](https://storearmory.com/product/waitlist-pro/) builds on this exact plugin — your existing sign-ups carry over automatically, with nothing to migrate — and adds: * **Multi-channel alerts** — SMS (Twilio), Web Push and WhatsApp, not just email. * **Per-variation waitlists** — notify on the exact size or colour a shopper wanted. * **Background batch sending** — notify huge lists reliably without timeouts. * **Open & click tracking** and a deliverability dashboard. * **CSV export** and per-subscriber details. * **Restock revenue reporting** — see the actual sales your waitlists recover. * **Conversion tools** — reserve stock on restock, hold timers, pre-orders and price-drop alerts. * **Referrals & re-engagement** campaigns. * **Mailchimp / ESP integrations** and built-in SMTP. ## Screenshots [⌊The "Email me when it's back in stock" sign-up form, shown automatically on an out-of-stock product page.⌉⌊The "Email me when it's back in stock" sign-up form, shown automatically on an out-of-stock product page.⌉[ The “Email me when it’s back in stock” sign-up form, shown automatically on an out- of-stock product page.

WooCommerce must be installed and active. ### Where does the sign-up form appear? Automatically on the single product page of any out-of-stock simple product. You can also place it anywhere with the shortcode `[bisw_waitlist id="123"]`. ### Do shoppers need an account? No. Guests sign up with just an email address. Logged-in customers have their email pre-filled. ### How are restock emails sent? WordPress sends them via `wp_mail()`. For reliable delivery we strongly recommend configuring an SMTP plugin or service. (Waitlist Pro includes built-in SMTP and ESP integrations.) ### How does the plugin know a product is back in stock? It watches WooCommerce stock changes, so restocks are detected whether you edit stock manually, import a CSV, or sync from an ERP/inventory system. ### Does it support product variations? The free version supports simple products. Per-variation waitlists (notify on a specific size or colour) are available in Waitlist Pro. ### Is it GDPR-friendly? Yes. Sign-ups use a consent checkbox and the plugin records the consent text, IP address and timestamp. Double opt-in is enabled by default, and every email includes one-click unsubscribe. ### What happens to my data if I uninstall? Your collected sign-ups are preserved by default so you do not lose demand data, and so an upgrade to Waitlist Pro keeps everything. You can remove the tables manually if you want a full wipe. ### Is it compatible with HPOS and block checkout? Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage( HPOS) and the block-based cart and checkout. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “StoreArmory Waitlist for WooCommerce” is open source software.
