Descripció
This plugin adds a simple «Notify me when back in stock» form to any out-of-stock WooCommerce product page. Shoppers enter their email, and the plugin automatically emails everyone on the list the moment you mark the product back in stock.
Also includes a Restock Waitlist page under WooCommerce in wp-admin, showing you exactly which out-of-stock products have the most people waiting — real demand data for deciding what to reorder first.
Features (v0.2.0):
- Automatic «Notify me» form on out-of-stock product pages, with a live count of how many other shoppers are already waiting
- Works with simple and variable products — each variation is tracked and notified separately
- One email per subscriber per product — no duplicate signups
- Admin waitlist view showing pending-subscriber counts per product, plus a «Mark back in stock» one-click action that flips stock status and triggers notifications immediately
- Admin settings page to customize the email subject/body/from-name — no code required
- «Send test email to yourself» button so you can preview the exact email a subscriber would receive
- Outgoing emails are wrapped in WooCommerce’s own branded email template (same look as order-confirmation emails)
- One-click, no-login unsubscribe link in every email (GDPR/CAN-SPAM friendly)
- One-click CSV export of your full waitlist
- Spam protection via an invisible honeypot field and a disposable-email-domain blocklist — no Google reCAPTCHA account or API key needed
- Fetches a fresh security nonce immediately before the subscribe form submits, so it keeps working correctly on sites using a page-caching plugin
- «My Account > Restock Waitlist» tab so logged-in customers can see and self-manage every product they’re waiting on, not just via a one-off emailed link
- Optional «notify on backorder» mode for stores that sell backordered items
- Admin «Notified» history tab showing exactly who was emailed and when, in addition to the live «Pending» view
- Opt-in «delete all data on uninstall» setting (off by default, so your waitlist survives an accidental delete)
- WPML/Polylang-ready
- Lightweight — one small database table, no external services required

PMF
-
Does this work with variable products?
-
Yes — each variation is tracked separately, so a shopper is notified only when the specific variation they wanted is back in stock.
-
Does this send email through my own WordPress site?
-
Yes, via the standard
wp_mail()function. For reliable delivery, we recommend using an SMTP plugin (e.g., WP Mail SMTP) rather than relying on your host’s default mail setup. -
Can customers manage their own subscriptions?
-
Yes — logged-in customers get a «Restock Waitlist» tab under My Account where they can see everything they’re subscribed to and remove entries themselves. Guests (not logged in) still get a one-click unsubscribe link in every email.

- Added one-click, no-login unsubscribe link to every restock email.
- Added CSV export of the full waitlist from the admin page.
- Added honeypot + disposable-email-domain spam protection (no API key required).

- Added WPML/Polylang compatibility (wpml-config.xml, textdomain loading).
- Redesigned the frontend notify box with a clearer, branded look.
- Fixed a real bug where the notify form and variation-level notifications didn’t work correctly for variable products; subscriptions are now correctly tagged and matched per variation.
- Added a live pending-subscriber count to the frontend notify form.
- Added a «Send test email to yourself» button on the Settings page, using the currently saved template and sample data.
- Outgoing restock emails (real and test) are now wrapped in WooCommerce’s own branded email template.

- Added uninstall.php with an opt-in «delete data on uninstall» setting (defaults to keeping data).
- Added a «My Account > Restock Waitlist» tab so logged-in customers can view and remove their own subscriptions without needing the emailed unsubscribe link.

- Added an admin «Notified» history tab (up to 200 most recent) alongside the existing «Pending» view.
