<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Display targeted, high‑impact messages to new and returning visitors</h2>
<p><strong>WooCommerce Splash Popup</strong> lets you put the right message in front of the right shopper at the right time—without sending them to another page. Use any WordPress page as the popup content, target by visitor type (logged out, logged in, or customers), and throttle how often it appears so you inform without annoying. Great for promos, newsletter signups, shipping notices, or must‑see announcements.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Target the right visitor with the right message</h2>
<p>Use your existing WordPress pages as popup content and tailor what each visitor sees.<br />
Personalizing messages by audience makes promotions more relevant, reduces friction, and lifts key actions like signups and add to cart.<br />
You get clearer communication without sending shoppers to another page.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Logged out visitors:</strong> Welcome first‑timers with a clear value prop, a simple site intro, or a newsletter offer.<br />
Great for growing your list and guiding new shoppers to best sellers.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in users:</strong> Share new arrivals, saved items, or account benefits.<br />
Nudge known visitors toward the next step instead of repeating generic promos.</li>
<li><strong>Logged in customers:</strong> Reward loyalty with exclusive discounts, reorder prompts, or member‑only content.<br />
Encourage repeat purchases and higher lifetime value.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because the popup pulls from WordPress pages, you can reuse layouts, forms, and shortcodes you already maintain.<br />
The result is faster setup, consistent branding, and higher engagement from messages that match each visitor’s intent.</p>

<p>When a visitor closes the popup, it won’t keep nagging them every time they come back. Instead, you can set how long to wait before showing it again. Whether that’s a few days, a couple of weeks, or longer. By default it’s 30 days, which strikes a balance between staying visible and avoiding annoyance. This way your messages feel timely and helpful, not pushy, and visitors stay focused on shopping instead of repeatedly dismissing the same popup.</p>

<h2>Keep customers happy with back-in-stock notifications</h2>
<p>Automatically notify customers when a product becomes available for purchase. The Waitlist for WooCommerce extension lets you track demand for out-of-stock items, making sure your customers feel informed, and therefore more likely to buy. Using a simple plugin, you can build up a waiting list of people wanting the unavailable item, then notify these customers automatically when products come back in stock.</p>
<h2>Set up in seconds</h2>
<p>It’s really easy to install and will instantly start turning missed opportunities into future sales. Customers register for an email alert to let them know when a product is back in stock, increasing the likelihood they’ll wait and shop with you instead of going to a competitor. It makes people feel valued by your business, and allows you to replenish stock intelligently based on demand.</p>
<h2>How it works</h2>
<p>It takes seconds for customers to join a waiting list via a button on the product listing of your WooCommerce store.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734005296225" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734005296225" style="width: 796px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-18734005296225 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshot_20250514_162030.png?w=796" alt="An example of a single product showing the "Join Waitlist" option" width="796" height="738" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734005296225" class="wp-caption-text">An out-of-stock product showing the option to join it’s waitlist</figcaption></figure>
<p> </p>
<p>As soon as you update your stock numbers on the site, everyone on the list automatically gets an email with a link to the product, making it super-simple for them to buy.</p>
<p>Waitlist for WooCommerce fully supports simple products, product variations and the children of grouped products.</p>
<h2>See who’s waiting for what</h2>
<p>With Waitlist for WooCommerce, shop managers can sort products by number of customers on their waiting list. This allows them to quickly prioritize which products to re-stock.</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734005296236" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734005296236" style="width: 896px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-18734005296236 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshot_20250514_162513.png?w=896" alt="The product listing screen showing the additional column for displaying waitlist counts" width="896" height="369" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734005296236" class="wp-caption-text">An example of the added Waitlist column</figcaption></figure>
<p> </p>
<p>Shop managers can also view, manage and contact those on the waiting list for each product directly from the Edit Product screen through a custom product tab.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-18734005296242 size-medium aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshot_20250514_162551.png?w=896" alt="" width="896" height="313" /></p>
<p>Here, it is easy to add/remove users from the waiting list, see archived lists, export a CSV of users on a waiting list/archive and adjust the waiting list options for this product.</p>
<h2>Allow users to manage their own waiting lists</h2>
<p>Users can view any products they have joined the waiting list for on the “Your Waitlists” tab on their “My Account” page.  This allows users to conveniently manage all their waiting lists in one place</p>
<figure id="attachment_18734005296248" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734005296248" style="width: 812px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-18734005296248 size-medium" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Screenshot_20250514_162633.png?w=812" alt="waitlist tab shown on the WooCommerce my account page" width="812" height="606" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734005296248" class="wp-caption-text">The default “Your Waitlists” tab shown on the “my account” page</figcaption></figure>
<p> </p>
<h2>Get it working your way</h2>
<p>Waitlist for WooCommerce comes with plenty of options for you to get the most from the plugin, including the following:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>options to display opt-in elements when users sign up to a waitlist</li>
<li>options to also display waitlist buttons on archive pages (e.g. the shop page/product category pages)</li>
<li>options to add google analytic tracking codes to Waitlist for WooCommerce emails</li>
<li>options to email a site administrator when a customer joins a waitlist</li>
<li>options to set a minimum stock before Waitlist for WooCommerce in-stock notifications are sent out</li>
<li>and more…</li>
</ul>
<h2>Extend and customize</h2>
<p>The default setup is ‘plug and play’, but Waitlist for WooCommerce adds a large number of WordPress action and filter hooks allowing you to customize it to suit your exact needs (See <a href="https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-waitlist/#section-12">documentation</a> for more information). Customizations include:</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li>Choosing the wording for notification emails</li>
<li>Tweaking the design of ‘join waiting list’ buttons</li>
<li>Hooking in extra functionality when users are added to/removed from a waiting list</li>
<li>Altering the design of the “Your Waitlists” page added to the “My Account” section</li>
</ul>
