Plugin Description

RestockBeacon Preorder & Back in Stock for WooCommerce is a WooCommerce preorder plugin and back in stock notifier for products that are out of stock, on backorder, or not released yet. Let shoppers preorder upcoming products, capture demand with an out of stock waitlist, and automatically send back in stock email notifications when inventory returns.

Instead of hiding an out-of-stock product, turn it into a preorder, a backorder, or a “Notify me when available” waitlist sign-up. When you restock, the plugin emails everyone who was waiting, in the background.

High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible, WooCommerce Cart & Checkout Blocks ready, works with simple and variable products, translation ready, and GDPR friendly.

What you can do

  • Sell preorders — take orders for products before they launch and show a clear “Preorder — ships on {date}” label and message.
  • Capture back in stock demand — replace the Add to Cart button on out of stock items with a themed “Notify me” button and email capture form.
  • Send automatic restock emails — the instant stock is replenished, every customer on the waitlist gets a back in stock notification email.
  • Support backorders — build on WooCommerce’s native backorders with a clearer badge and label.
  • Manage everything from one screen — a campaign-based admin app to target products, schedule windows, and style the storefront.

Examples of Preorder & Back in Stock for WooCommerce

Features Overview (Free Version)

  • Preorder, Backorder & Notify Me modes — all three driven by targeting campaigns, so you never edit products one by one.
  • Custom Add to Cart button text, an under-button message, and a preorder note on the cart and checkout (classic and Cart/Checkout Blocks).
  • “Notify me when available” button — a fully styled button that opens a modal popup sign-up form; customize the button, form, colors, radius and confirmation message per campaign.
  • Out of stock waitlist capture — with email validation, GDPR consent checkbox, honeypot and rate-limiting anti-spam, and logged-in email prefill.
  • Automatic back in stock email — sent to waitlisted customers on restock, batched and idempotent so nobody is emailed twice.
  • Two themeable WooCommerce emails — Back in Stock and Preorder Confirmation (override in yourtheme/woocommerce/emails/), with a branded or plain WooCommerce template style and an optional product image.
  • Waitlist admin screen — browse sign-ups, filter by product and status, and delete individually or in bulk.
  • Scheduling — open preorder / back in stock windows with start and end dates.
  • Preorder order tagging — order note and ship date saved to the order.
  • My Account Preorders tab — customers can see and unsubscribe from their own sign-ups.
  • Shortcode & blocks — [asnp_wepo_notify_form] shortcode plus Notify Me and Preorder Message Gutenberg blocks to place output anywhere.
  • Built for modern WooCommerce — HPOS compatible, Cart & Checkout Blocks compatible, translation ready, GDPR export/erase, and clean uninstall.

🚀 Pro Features: Deposits, Widgets & Advanced Targeting

  • Deposits & partial payments — let customers pay a deposit now (percentage or fixed) and record the remaining balance on the order, shown on the product page, cart, checkout, order and emails.
  • Preorder pricing — apply a percentage or fixed discount to preorder products, and stop selling automatically at a chosen stock level.
  • Early Bird Pricing — a two-card Launch Price vs Early Bird comparison under the Add to Cart button.
  • Preorder widgets — a countdown timer to the ship date, an order progress bar / timeline (Purchased Production Shipping), and an info panel (Ships / Pay now / Limited run).
  • Extra Back in Stock email layouts — Hero, Split and Minimal, alongside the free Centered layout.
  • Category & tag targeting — target preorder and back in stock campaigns by product category or tag.
  • Mixed-cart prevention — stop preorder and in-stock items being bought in the same cart.
  • Order limits — cap the quantity of a product available for preorder.
  • B2B / user-role rules — restrict preorder availability to specific customer roles (e.g. wholesale).
  • Region / country targeting — allow preorders only for selected billing/shipping countries.
  • Automatic product tagging — tag products by preorder / backorder / back-in-stock status for filtering and reporting.
  • Analytics — preorder units, revenue and fulfilment status, daily demand trends up to 12 months, waitlist signups and notification rates, and top preorder and most-wanted products.
  • Waitlist CSV export — download the filtered waitlist from the Waitlist admin screen.

How It Works

  • No product editing required — configure everything with targeting campaigns (all products, or specific products) instead of editing products one by one.
  • Background processing — restock detection is queued and processed with WooCommerce Action Scheduler, with a lock so a customer is not emailed twice for the same restock.
  • Theme compatibility — the preorder button, message, cart note and Notify Me popup render through standard WooCommerce hooks and work on classic and block themes.
  • Conditional asset loading — the frontend CSS and JS load only on shop, product, cart and checkout pages.

Where it shows up in your store:

  • Product Page — preorder button + ship-date label, or the “Notify me” button and modal sign-up form.
  • Cart & Checkout — preorder note on both the classic and Blocks cart/checkout.
  • Emails — automatic Back in Stock and Preorder Confirmation emails.
  • My Account — a Preorders tab for waitlist entries and preorders.
