Descripció
Some products should not simply go to whoever refreshes the page fastest: a limited
drop, a hand-made batch, an advent calendar. This plugin turns those products into a
managed queue.
Switch the waitlist on for a product and nobody can order it any more. The add-to-cart
button is replaced by a sign-up form. When you are ready, you invite people from the
list, one by one or in batches. Each invitation unlocks the product for exactly one
customer account, for a limited quantity and a limited time. After the purchase, or
after the deadline, the right to buy is gone and the next person can move up.
What it does
- Blocks the product for everyone while the waitlist is running
- Quota of places per product; the list closes itself when it is full
- Shows the remaining places, the full ratio, or nothing at all
- Customers sign up with their shop account (created on the spot if your shop allows registration)
- Single-use invitation links: one account, a limited quantity, a deadline
- Expired invitations are released automatically by a scheduled task
- Admin overview with bulk invitations and CSV export
- A «My waitlists» section in the customer account
- Templates and hooks for your own adjustments
Templates and hooks
Copy the templates into your theme under yourtheme/tymok-presale-waitlist-for-woocommerce/
to change the markup. Among the available hooks are wcwl_is_waitlist_product,
wcwl_validate_signup, wcwl_after_signup, wcwl_form_extra_fields,
wcwl_invite_sent, wcwl_invite_redeemed, wcwl_invites_expired and
wcwl_settings_fields.
External services
This plugin does not contact any external service. No data leaves your site.
Privacy
The plugin stores waitlist entries: name, email address, IP address and timestamp.
The IP address serves as proof of the sign-up. Deleting the plugin only removes this
data if you enable the corresponding setting.
Captures
Instal·lació
- Upload the ZIP under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, then activate it.
- Go through WooCommerce > Settings > Waitlist (deadlines, quantity, texts).
- Open a product, switch to the Waitlist tab, enable it and set the quota.
- Invite customers under WooCommerce > Waitlist.
PMF
-
Can customers join without an account?
-
No. Without a customer account the later purchase cannot be limited to one person.
If your shop allows customers to create an account on the My account page
(WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts & Privacy), the account is created straight from
the sign-up form. Otherwise customers log in first and then join the waitlist. -
Does this work with a page cache?
-
Waitlist product pages set DONOTCACHEPAGE and send no-cache headers. If your cache
plugin ignores that, exclude those URLs there by hand. Otherwise a stale form with an
expired nonce may be served. -
Does it work with the block-based cart and checkout?
-
Yes. The purchase block hooks into
woocommerce_is_purchasable, the add-to-cart
validation and the cart check, so the Store API is covered as well. -
What happens to an invitation that is not used?
-
An hourly scheduled task marks it as expired, which frees the place again.

1.2.2
- The product selection for inviting the next in line showed the number of waiting
customers as a hard-coded German text. It is translatable now. - Translatable column headers and yes/no values in the CSV export.
- Translatable notice when WooCommerce is not active.
- The invitation column no longer shows «valid until» for purchased or cancelled entries.
1.2.1
- Declares WooCommerce as a required plugin (Requires Plugins header, WordPress 6.5+).
- Removed the option to log customers in through the invitation link. Invited customers
always log in through the regular WooCommerce login. - The sign-up form reads and sanitizes each field individually; extension hooks only
receive the sanitized form fields, never the nonce or the password. - Removed the unused AJAX sign-up endpoint.
- Guests only get a customer account through the waitlist form if the shop allows
account creation on the My account page (WooCommerce setting). Otherwise the form
asks them to log in first. Filter: wcwl_guests_can_register.
1.2.0
- Renamed the plugin to tymok Presale Waitlist for WooCommerce.
- The shortcode is now [tymok_waitlist].
1.1.0
- Sign-ups are now matched against the normalised mailbox, so plus tags and Gmail dots
count as one and the same address. - Removed helper methods that were not called anywhere in this plugin.
1.0.2
- First public release.
