Questions
How does it compare to alternatives?
Waitlist suites like YITH WooCommerce Waiting List and the commercial back-in-stock extensions add dashboards, exportable waitlists, SMS, and marketing integrations. Sawir Restock Notifier keeps to the essential loop: a small form on out-of-stock products, a double opt-in confirmation, and one email when the product or variation returns. If you plan to market to your waitlist, choose a suite; if you simply don't want customers walking away from an out-of-stock page, this does exactly that.
Does this require WooCommerce?
Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce products and stock status hooks.
Does it notify customers more than once?
No. Each request is marked as notified after a restock email is sent.
Does it support double opt-in?
Yes. Customers must click the confirmation link before the restock alert becomes active.
