About YITH Woocommerce Waiting List Premium
A store with sold-out stock and buyers who leave without a trace
A customer lands on your product page, finds exactly the model and color they wanted, and discovers their size is not available. If the page doesn't say when it will return or let them ask to be told, they go to another store and you never know they were there. YITH WooCommerce Waiting List Premium is for that lost buyer: it collects their email and writes to them when the product is back.
It suits you if you sell products that sell out or have not launched yet: sizes, limited runs, new releases. If your catalog has unlimited stock or digital products that never run out, it has nothing to do. Nor is it a full email marketing tool: it manages per-product lists and a back-in-stock notice, not general campaigns.
What the customer sees on the sold-out product page
Out-of-stock products show a subscription box. You can activate it on all sold-out products or use an exclusion list to choose which ones get it and which don't. The texts are editable: the notice, the button, the error message and the confirmation message.
It's a good place to offer an incentive, such as a discount or a bonus for those who sign up. You can also show a counter with how many people are on each product's list, a simple way to push others to sign up for fear of missing the news.
Variations, confirmation and anti-spam on the waiting list
- Variable products: the user signs up for the list of a specific variation, such as their size, not the whole product.
- Subscription confirmation: you can ask them to confirm by email, either everyone or only those without an account in your store.
- Google reCAPTCHA: an email field is easy prey for bots, and here you can enable it and choose the version.
- Privacy policy checkbox: it lets you require acceptance of your policy. Depending on where you sell, it is an important piece for GDPR, but the plugin alone does not guarantee you comply.
The back-in-stock email and what to do if the supplier doesn't restock
When the product returns, the plugin sends an automatic email to subscribers. The content is edited from the plugin's own editor. If you use Mandrill for your sends, there is an integration to track them in more detail.
If the supplier tells you there will be no restock, you can send that list an email recommending alternative products, with well-chosen words and a small discount. That way you don't entirely lose the customer who was waiting.
Controlling lists, subscriptions and results
In the plugin panel there is a table of products with a list: how many users have signed up, sending the back-in-stock or alternatives notice, and removing users or lists. You can keep the addresses after the notice to use in future campaigns, or see which products generate interest before launching them.
Your registered customers see in My Account the lists they have joined and whether the product is available yet. In addition, a reports dashboard shows the emails sent and the sales generated by each one.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for a product that hasn't launched yet?
Yes. You can disable sales and open a waiting list to gather interested people before launch, even with an incentive to sign up.
Does it work with sizes or colors?
Yes, in variable products each variation has its own list.
Can I choose which products it appears on?
Yes, on all sold-out products or only those you select with the exclusion list.
Are emails deleted after notifying?
It depends on the option you choose: you can keep them to build a marketing list.
Do I need WooCommerce?
Yes, it is a WooCommerce add-on and does not work without it.
