This WooCommerce waitlist plugin lets shoppers join a back in stock list from any product page or shop grid and see their place in line. When stock returns, they get an email with an optional coupon and the first chance to buy.

A WooCommerce waitlist plugin adds a "Notify Me" form to products that are sold out. Shoppers leave their email and join the waiting list for that product or variation. When stock comes back, each of them gets a back in stock email, in the order they joined.
WooCommerce has no waitlist of its own. Its low stock and out of stock emails go to the store owner and never to shoppers. Waitlist fills that gap and shows you what every restock earned. It is part of our WooCommerce extensions range.
A shopper finds the product they want and it says out of stock. There is nothing to click. They close the tab and buy it somewhere else the next time it is around.
You never find out they were there. So you cannot tell which products to reorder first, or how many units people wanted.
See how the waitlist fixes itFour steps run on their own once the plugin is on. You only decide how generous the restock should be.
A "Notify Me" form appears on its page and a "Notify Me" button replaces "Read more" in the shop grid.
Guests leave an email and customers join in one click. Each one sees their place in line and gets a confirmation email.
The plugin emails the list in the order people joined. A coupon and an early access window are yours to add.
Orders from notified customers are matched to their signup. The revenue shows up on your dashboard.
From the first signup to the order it turns into, every step of the waitlist is in your store and on your dashboard.
The moment a product is out of stock, a short form appears under its price. It works in classic themes and in block themes, with no shortcode to place.
Guests type their email and press Notify Me. Logged-in customers join with one click. Nobody leaves the page, and the form still works with JavaScript turned off.
A shoe sells out in blue size 9 and stays in stock in red. Each variation keeps its own list.
When a shopper picks a sold out size or color, the form switches to that exact variation. When blue size 9 comes back, only the people who wanted it are emailed.
Most shoppers see a sold out product in the shop grid and never open it. Here, a Notify Me button replaces Read more on shop, category and block product grids.
The button opens a quick signup window over the grid. For a variable product, the shopper picks the variation inside it. The window loads a fresh form and keeps working on cached pages.
People wait more happily when they know where they stand. After joining, each shopper sees "You are number 4 in line" and gets the same line in their confirmation email.
Add an expected restock date to any product or variation, plus a short note per product. The date hides itself once it passes. A live count tells new visitors how many people are already waiting.
Some back in stock notifiers miss a restock that does not come from the product edit screen. This one listens to WooCommerce itself. CSV imports, the REST API, refunds and cancelled orders all send the emails.
Emails go out in small background batches through Action Scheduler, oldest signup first. A list of thousands never slows your store down.
Three units come back and 200 people are waiting. Emailing all of them makes 197 people angry.
Set Customers per Unit to 2 and only the first six in line are emailed. The rest keep their place for the next restock. A minimum stock level holds the emails until enough units are in.
A restock can sell out again in minutes, often to someone who never joined. The early access window stops that.
For the hours you choose, only customers who got the restock email can buy. Everyone else sees when the product opens up and can still join the list. Then it goes on sale to all.
Thank people for waiting and give them a reason to buy today. Each back in stock email can carry its own coupon code.
Every code works once, only for that customer's email and that product. Pick a percentage or a fixed amount and how many days it stays valid. A short expiry adds urgency.
People open a restock email on the train and forget about it. A second email brings them back.
Two days after the first email, by default, notified customers who have not bought get a friendly reminder. It goes out only while the product is still in stock and shows the same coupon.
Back in Stock, Reminder, Signup Confirmation, Email Confirmation and Admin Alert each have their own tab. Each one has an on switch, a subject, a heading and a rich text editor.
Click a placeholder such as {customer_name}, {queue_position} or {coupon_code} to insert it. Preview shows the email as customers will get it, and Send test delivers a copy to any address.
A customer says they never got the email. Open the Email Log and check in seconds.
Every waitlist email is listed with the recipient, the email type, the subject and whether it was sent or failed. Filter by type or search an address. Failed rows point at mail server problems before customers notice.
See customers waiting now, new signups, emails sent, recovered orders and recovered revenue. Each number is compared with the previous period.
An activity chart plots signups, emails and orders by day. The restock funnel shows how many emails were sent, clicked and turned into a purchase.
Most Wanted Products ranks your sold out items by how many people are waiting. Ready to Sell lists products already back in stock that still have a waiting list, with an Email now button.
The Products screen shows waiting customers, units wanted, notified, purchased and recovered revenue for every product. Email the whole list or clear it in one click.
The Subscribers screen lists everyone with their product, status, place in line and the order their signup turned into. Search, add a subscriber by hand or bulk send, move and delete.
Moving from another waitlist plugin? The three-step import wizard maps your CSV columns and keeps each original join date. Nobody loses their place. Imports send no emails.
Send waitlist events to the tools you already use. A customer joined, was emailed, bought or left the list.
Each event posts JSON with the customer, the product and the order. Add a secret and every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256. Your endpoint can then check that it came from your store.
Turn on double opt-in and guests confirm their address before they join the line. Unconfirmed signups are removed on their own after the days you set.
Add a consent checkbox with a link to your privacy policy. An invisible honeypot stops spam signups, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. The WordPress personal data tools cover waitlist entries.
Customers find every product they are waiting for in one place in My Account. Each row shows the stock status and their place in line.
They can leave a list or click Buy now as soon as a product is back. Signups they made as a guest with the same email show up too.
No outside service and no monthly fee. Subscribers live in your own database and emails go through your store.
The form adds itself to your product pages and shop grids. Nothing needs a theme edit.
Most back in stock notifiers send one email and stop. This one is built to turn the waiting list into orders you can count.
Notified customers get the first hours after a restock to themselves. It rewards waiting and keeps restocks fair.
Place in line, a waiting count and an expected restock date answer the question every shopper has.
Imports, the REST API, refunds and cancelled orders all send restock emails. A restock never goes unnoticed.
Minimum stock and customers per unit stop a small restock from emailing the whole list.
Recovered orders and revenue sit on the dashboard and on every product, with a sent to clicked to purchased funnel.
Shoppers join from shop and category pages without opening the product. Most notifiers only work on the product page.
Double opt-in, a consent checkbox, a honeypot, data erase and retention are all included.
Five editable emails with preview, test send and a log of everything that went out.
There are no add-ons to buy for coupons, reminders, CSV import or webhooks. Every plan has the full plugin.
We are official WooCommerce core contributors, and this plugin sits beside our other WooCommerce plugins.

Incredibly Fast and Efficient Support
The support is unbelievably fast and straight to the point. We received replies in under 3 minutes every time. Faster than we could even respond back. Really impressive experience!
After every restock, store owners asked us the same question. How many sales did we lose while it was sold out? Nobody could tell them.
So I built Waitlist for WooCommerce to answer it. Shoppers join a back in stock list in one click and see their place in line. When stock returns, the dashboard shows the orders and revenue each restock email brought back.
One yearly price with every feature in it. There are no add-ons and no limits on subscribers or emails.
Every plan works as long as your subscription stays active. It renews yearly until you cancel, and you can cancel anytime from your account. Every plan is backed by our 14-day refund policy.
$39/year
Just $3.25/mo when billed annually
$179/year
Just $14.92/mo when billed annually
$299/year
Just $24.92/mo when billed annually
If the plugin does not work as promised on your site, you have the backup of our 14-day refund policy to ask for your money back.

Answers to what store owners ask us most about adding a waitlist to WooCommerce.
Ask a QuestionNo. WooCommerce sends low stock and out of stock notifications to you, the store owner. It has no form for shoppers and never emails them when a product is back.
A WooCommerce waitlist plugin adds both: the Notify Me form and the back in stock notification emails.
Install the plugin, activate your license and finish the short setup wizard. Every sold out product then shows a Notify Me form, and restock emails go out on their own when you add stock.
Yes. Each variation has its own waiting list. When a shopper picks a sold out size or color, the form switches to that variation. Only its list is emailed when it comes back.
Yes. Guests enter an email and logged-in customers join in one click. For member or B2B stores, turn on Require Login and guests see a login button instead.
The form shows only while a product or variation is out of stock, or on backorder if you allow that. It also hides on excluded products and categories.
If WooCommerce hides out of stock items from the catalog, shop grids cannot show the Notify Me button. Themes that skip the standard WooCommerce hooks can use the shortcode.
Yes. The plugin listens to WooCommerce stock changes. CSV imports, inventory apps on the REST API, refunds and cancelled orders all send the emails. A tool that writes straight to the database and skips WooCommerce will not.
Set Customers per Unit. With 5 units and 2 customers per unit, the first 10 people in line are emailed. The rest keep their place for the next restock. A minimum stock level can hold the emails until enough units arrive.
For the hours you set, the restocked product can only be bought by customers who got the email. They get in through the email link, or by logging in with the email that was notified.
Everyone else sees when the product opens and can still join the list. Keep product pages out of full page cache while you use it.
A new code is made at the moment each back in stock email is sent. It works once, only for that customer's email and that product, and expires after the days you choose. Codes appear under Marketing > Coupons.
Open Emails > Email Log to see every email with its recipient and a Sent or Failed status. Send yourself a test from any email tab. If tests do not arrive, your site needs an SMTP plugin.
When an order is processing or completed, the plugin matches its billing email and products against customers who were notified. Each match counts as a recovered order with its revenue. Email opens are not tracked.
No. Alerts go by email. You can collect a phone number on the form and it goes to your webhook. A Zapier or Make flow can then text the customer.
No. Waitlist is about stock. To email shoppers when a price falls, use our WooCommerce price drop notifier.
A waitlist collects interest and emails people when stock is back, with no payment taken. If you know the release date and want to take the money now, our WooCommerce pre-order plugin is the better fit.
Subscribers stay in your own database. You can require consent and double opt-in, every email has an unsubscribe link, and the WordPress export and erase tools cover waitlist entries. Retention can delete closed entries on its own. Check your setup with your own advisor.
Yes. Export them to CSV and open Subscribers > Import CSV. Map the email and the product ID or SKU columns. Original join dates are kept, so the order of the line stays the same, and imports send no emails.
The shop grid window always loads a fresh form. On product pages, keep the page cache under 12 hours, or exclude product pages if you use the early access window.
Yes. DevDiggers Waitlist for WooCommerce is free with the form, automatic emails, three editable emails, the dashboard and the subscriber screens. Pro adds early access, coupons, reminders, recovered revenue, CSV and webhooks.

No. Pro uses the same subscribers table and settings. Activate your license key and every Pro feature turns on.
This plugin comes with a 14-day refund policy. If it does not work as described on your site, contact us within 14 days for a full refund. Read the full terms on our refund policy page, and every setting in the Waitlist documentation.
