<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>

<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>
