Description
What This Add-On Does
An out-of-stock product is a missed sale and, often, a lost customer. WPC Restock Alerts for WooCommerce (Premium) stops that from happening quietly in the background. Instead of watching shoppers leave your product page empty-handed, this add-on lets them sign up for an email notification the moment that item comes back into stock. No account required, no guesswork on their end — just a simple form on the product page that captures interest instead of letting it evaporate.
For store owners, it turns “sold out” from a dead end into a lead list. You get visibility into which out-of-stock products people actually want, and those shoppers get pulled back to your store automatically when you restock, rather than forgetting about the item entirely.
Key Features
- Customizable subscription form displayed directly on out-of-stock product pages
- Automatic email alerts sent when stock is replenished
- Subscriber list per product, so you can see demand before you reorder
- Works with variable products, letting customers request alerts for specific variations
- Customizable email templates to match your store’s tone and branding
- Admin dashboard for managing and exporting subscriber data
Built for Store Owners Who Want Control Over Customer Communication
This isn’t a generic pop-up plugin bolted onto your store. It’s built specifically around WooCommerce’s stock logic, so alerts trigger based on actual inventory changes rather than manual updates you have to remember to make. As a GPL-licensed product, you’re also free to modify the code to fit your store’s workflow, whether that means adjusting form placement, tweaking the notification logic, or integrating it into a custom theme setup.
Requirements
- WordPress version 5.9 or higher
- WooCommerce plugin installed and active
- Version 2.0.0 of WPC Restock Alerts for WooCommerce (Premium)
Does this work with variable products, like different sizes or colors?
Yes. Customers can request an alert for a specific variation rather than the entire product, so someone waiting on a medium in blue won’t get notified when only the small in red comes back.
Will customers get spammed with alerts if a product goes in and out of stock repeatedly?
No. Once an alert is sent for a restock, the subscription for that customer is considered fulfilled. If they want to be notified again for a future restock, they can simply sign up again from the product page.
Can I see which products people are waiting on before I reorder inventory?
Yes. The admin dashboard shows subscriber counts per product, so you can gauge real demand for out-of-stock items and prioritize restocking decisions based on actual customer interest rather than guesswork.
