Running out of stock does not necessarily mean losing contact with interested shoppers. WooCommerce Waitlist gives customers a way to register their interest in products that are currently unavailable.
When inventory is replenished, subscribed customers can receive a notification telling them that the product is available again. This creates a more convenient experience than requiring shoppers to repeatedly revisit the product page themselves.
For store administrators, the waitlist provides useful visibility into product demand. A large number of subscribers for an unavailable product can indicate continued customer interest and may be useful when planning inventory replenishment.
The plugin also supports customizable email notifications, guest subscriptions, and administrative waitlist management, making it suitable for stores with frequently changing inventory.
