<p>Beltoft In-Stock Notifier for WooCommerce adds a subscription form to out-of-stock products so customers can leave their email and get notified when the product is restocked. Emails are sent using WooCommerce’s email template so they match your store’s design.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ol>
<li>Subscription form on out-of-stock products — works with simple, variable, grouped, and external products.</li>
<li>Variable products: form shows/hides automatically when selecting out-of-stock variations.</li>
<li>Notifications sent via WooCommerce email templates — same look as your order emails.</li>
<li>Email settings (subject, heading, on/off) under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.</li>
<li>Batch sending via Action Scheduler — handles thousands of subscribers without slowing down.</li>
<li>Detects stock changes from admin, REST API, CLI, and ERP systems.</li>
<li>Admin dashboard with stats and a manual “Send Notifications” button per product.</li>
<li>Subscription list with search, filters, pagination, and bulk actions.</li>
<li>One-click unsubscribe link in every email.</li>
<li>Optional GDPR checkbox, honeypot spam protection, and rate limiting.</li>
<li>Shortcode <code>[bisn_form]</code> for custom placement.</li>
<li>Activity logging via WooCommerce logger.</li>
</ol>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ol>
<li>Customer visits an out-of-stock product and enters their email.</li>
<li>When the product comes back in stock, the plugin picks it up via WooCommerce hooks.</li>
<li>Emails are queued and sent in batches — each one includes the product image, a “Shop Now” button, and an unsubscribe link.</li>
<li>Custom hook available for CDN/Varnish cache purging if needed.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<h3>Form Placement</h3>
<ul>
<li>The form shows automatically on out-of-stock product pages.</li>
<li>To place it yourself, disable auto-placement in settings and use <code>[bisn_form]</code> or <code>[bisn_form product_id="123"]</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Email Template</h3>
<ul>
<li>Uses WooCommerce’s email system — same header, footer, and colours as your other store emails.</li>
<li>Customise subject, heading, body text, button text, and footer text under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails > Back In Stock.</li>
<li>Use <code>{product_name}</code> and <code>{site_title}</code> placeholders in any of these fields.</li>
<li>Override the template by copying <code>templates/emails/back-in-stock.php</code> to your theme’s <code>woocommerce/emails/</code> folder for more complex customisations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Batch Sending</h3>
<ul>
<li>Configurable batch size (default 50) and throttle between emails.</li>
<li>If there are more subscribers than one batch, the next batch runs 60 seconds later.</li>
<li>For low-traffic sites, set up a real system cron for reliable scheduling.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Hooks & Filters</h3>
<p>Developers can extend the plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>bisn_form_html</code> / <code>bisn_form_fields</code> / <code>bisn_form_heading_text</code></li>
<li><code>bisn_before_subscription</code> / <code>bisn_after_subscription</code></li>
<li><code>bisn_validate_subscription</code></li>
<li><code>bisn_before_notification_sent</code> / <code>bisn_after_notification_sent</code> / <code>bisn_after_batch_sent</code></li>
<li><code>bisn_stock_status_triggers</code> — customise which statuses trigger notifications (default: instock, onbackorder)</li>
<li><code>bisn_cache_purge_product</code> — fire custom cache purge logic (e.g. Varnish, CDN)</li>
</ul>
