Description

Waitlist captures customers interested in out-of-stock products in WooCommerce, displaying a “Wait for availability” button on the product page whenever stock reaches zero. Designed for those who sell frequently restocked items or seasonal products that sell out quickly, the addon sends automatic notification emails as soon as stock returns, recovering sales that would normally be lost when the product is unavailable.

How to Download Waitlist

Waitlist is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it. The addon options are accessible from the WooCommerce menu, with waitlists linked to each product registered in the store.

In stores where stockouts are frequent, Waitlist turns a critical moment of loss into a future sales opportunity, keeping the customer connected to the brand until the product returns. Native integration with variations makes the component especially useful for catalogs of fashion, cosmetics, and collectible items, where selling out by size or color is part of daily operations.
