What your Back In Stock Notifications plugin does

A focused WooCommerce stock-alert plugin. You decide where the sign-up appears, what the email says and when it is sent.

Sign-up form
An email box on sold-out product pages, with a short thank-you message.
Automatic email
Sent when the product goes back in stock, with a link straight to it.
Waiting list
See who is waiting for which product, in your admin.
One settings page
Its own item in your WordPress admin menu, including the email wording.
Good to know: Emails are sent through your store's normal WordPress email. Sending to very large lists may need a mail service, and Ora will say so in the plan.

Tell Ora what you need. Check the plan before you pay.

Describe your WooCommerce Back In Stock Notifications Plugin in your own words. Ora replies with a plan and a price. Nothing is built until you approve it.

Example request
On my WooCommerce store, show a 'Notify me' email box on sold-out products. When I mark a product in stock again, email everyone waiting once, with the product name, a photo and a link. Let me see the waiting list per product.

Ora
Here is the plan:
  • 'Notify me' email box on out-of-stock product pages
  • One email per person when the product returns to stock, with name, photo and link
  • Waiting list per product in your admin
  • A settings page in its own menu in your WordPress admin
Standard build · $19 once
In this build: Each person gets one email per restock. Text message alerts are not part of this plan.
Want more? Add it to your request:
  • Text message alerts. Send a text message as well as an email when a product is back in stock, through my SMS provider.
  • Demand report. Email me a weekly report of the sold-out products with the most people waiting.
Add these to my request and get a quote
Ora builds it together with the plugin and the quote goes up to match. You see the new price before you pay. One plugin never costs more than $39. If it needs more than one plugin, Ora quotes each one. Or add it later as a separate build.

Paid plugin price is the list price for one site, as shown on the seller's site in October 2026. The price of your build depends on its size. Ora quotes it before you pay. The paid extension does more than the plugin described above.

Questions

Is there a free WooCommerce back in stock notifications plugin?

Yes, free ones exist. Build your own when you want your own wording, a simple form and no extra features.

Will emails reach inboxes?

Delivery depends on your site's email setup. Ora will tell you in the plan if a mail service is a good idea for your list size.

Do I need WooCommerce?

Yes. This plugin is built for WooCommerce stores and works with your products, cart and checkout. You don't need to buy the paid Back In Stock Notifications extension.

Can I get a refund?

The trial fee is refunded automatically if a build fails. A purchased plugin can be refunded within 14 days if it doesn't do what the approved plan said and Ora can't fix it, as long as it hasn't been downloaded or installed.
