外掛說明
Every “out of stock” product is a lost sale, unless you can tell the customer when it comes back. ReadyGo Back in Stock adds an “Email me when back in stock” form to any out-of-stock WooCommerce product, collects the waitlist for you, and emails everyone automatically the moment you restock.
Unlike most back-in-stock notifier plugins, there is no cap on notifications and no paywall on the core feature. Built by ReadyGo Tools, a division of MKB Platinum.
How back in stock notifications work in WooCommerce
WooCommerce has no built-in way to capture demand for a product that has sold out. The shopper sees “Out of stock”, leaves, and usually does not come back. This plugin turns that dead end into a waitlist. When stock returns, everyone waiting is emailed at once, and because they asked to be told, those emails convert far better than any broadcast newsletter.
Zero setup
Activate the plugin and the signup form appears automatically on out-of-stock products. There is no shortcode to place, no template to edit and no widget to position. If you want to change the wording you can, but you do not have to touch anything to start collecting a waitlist today.
Why you’ll like it
- Automatic placement. The signup form appears on out-of-stock products without any configuration.
- Automatic restock emails. Set a product back in stock and every waiting customer is emailed. Large waitlists are sent in the background so your store never slows down.
- Simple and variable products. On a variable product the form appears for the specific out-of-stock variation, and only the customers waiting on that variation are notified.
- Waitlist dashboard. See exactly who is waiting for each product, with a one-click Remove for any entry. This is genuinely useful demand intelligence: it tells you what to reorder and how much.
- No notification limit. Send to a waitlist of five or five thousand. There is no cap and no per-email charge.
- Fully customizable wording. Edit the form heading, body text, button, success message, email subject and email body, with
{product},{url}and{site}tags. - Built-in spam protection. A hidden honeypot field plus per-IP rate limiting, both on by default. No CAPTCHA account needed.
- Fast and lightweight. Front-end assets load only on product pages that actually show the form.
- No AI, no scraping, no external services. Everything runs on your own site and nothing is sent anywhere.
Works with your theme and builder
The form attaches to WooCommerce’s standard product output, so it works with classic themes such as Astra, Neve, GeneratePress, Kadence, OceanWP and Storefront, and with builders including Blocksy, Elementor and the block editor.
Reliable delivery matters here
WordPress cannot reliably send email on its own, and a restock notification that lands in spam is a sale lost twice. Pair this plugin with any SMTP mailer for dependable delivery. The plugin will flag it if a notification fails to send, so a broken mail setup does not fail silently.

安裝方式
- Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.
- In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins Add New, search for “ReadyGo Back in Stock”, and click Install then Activate. (Or upload the plugin ZIP under Plugins Add New Upload Plugin.)
- That’s it. The signup form now appears automatically on any out-of-stock product.
- Optional: open RGT Back in Stock Settings to customize the wording, the restock email, and spam protection.
To test it: set a product to out of stock (quantity 0 with backorders disabled, or status “Out of stock”), visit the product page, and you’ll see the form. Sign up, then set the product back in stock — the waiting email is sent automatically.
常見問題集
-
The form isn’t showing on my out-of-stock product. Why?
-
The form only appears when a product is genuinely out of stock. If you manage stock quantity, set it to 0 and set “Allow backorders” to “Do not allow” — otherwise the product is “on backorder” (still purchasable) and no form is shown. If you don’t manage stock quantity, set the product’s stock status to “Out of stock”.
-
Does it work with variable products?
-
Yes. The form appears for the specific out-of-stock variation, and only the customers waiting on that exact variation are emailed.
-
Does it require any external service, API key, or account?
-
No. The waitlist is stored on your own site and emails are sent by WordPress. There is no third-party service and nothing is sent off your site.
-
My customers aren’t receiving the restock emails.
-
This is almost always because WordPress can’t send email reliably without SMTP. Install and configure any SMTP mailer. The plugin shows a reminder in the admin if a notification fails to send.
-
Where do I see who is waiting?
-
Under RGT Back in Stock Waitlist. Each product lists the waiting customers’ email addresses, when they signed up, and the current stock status. You can remove any entry.
-
Can I change the wording of the form and the email?
-
Yes. Everything is editable under RGT Back in Stock Settings — the form heading, text, button, success message, email subject and email body. In the email you can use
{product},{url}and{site}tags. -
How does it stop spam signups?
-
Two protections run automatically: a hidden honeypot field that traps bots, and per-IP rate limiting (adjustable under Settings). Neither needs any account or CAPTCHA.
-
What happens after a customer is notified?
-
Their signup is marked as notified and removed from the active waitlist. If the product later goes out of stock again, they can join the new waitlist to be notified again.
-
Is it compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?
-
Yes. The plugin declares HPOS compatibility.
-
How do I add back in stock notifications to WooCommerce?
-
Install and activate the plugin. The “Email me when back in stock” form appears automatically on out-of-stock products. No shortcode or setup is required.
-
Does WooCommerce have back in stock notifications built in?
-
No. Core WooCommerce shows an “Out of stock” message and nothing else. Capturing the customer’s interest requires a plugin.
-
When are the restock emails sent?
-
As soon as you set the product back in stock. Large waitlists are processed in the background so your store stays fast.
-
Is there a limit on how many notifications I can send?
-
No. There is no cap on waitlist size or notification volume, and no per-email charge.
-
Can I see who is waiting for a product?
-
Yes. The waitlist dashboard lists every signup per product, which doubles as demand data for restocking decisions.
-
How do I change the wording of the form and the email?
-
Everything is editable in settings: the form heading, text, button, success message, email subject and email body, with tags for the product name, URL and site name.
-
How do I stop spam signups?
-
Protection is already on. A hidden honeypot field and per-IP rate limiting are both enabled by default, with no third-party CAPTCHA account needed.
-
Why are my restock emails not arriving?
-
WordPress email is unreliable by default. Install an SMTP plugin so your mail is routed through a real provider. The plugin will warn you when a notification fails to send.
