How it sells itself

When a product sells out, StockWait puts a notify-me button on the product page and captures the shoppers who still wanted it. You see what that waiting demand is worth: which variants, how many people, and roughly how much revenue is sitting in it. When you restock, StockWait emails those shoppers and sends them to a pre-filled cart.

When a product sells out, Waitivo adds a Notify Me button so shoppers can ask to be told when it returns. After they confirm by email, Waitivo watches your inventory and automatically emails everyone waiting the moment the product is back, turning demand you already earned into orders instead of lost visits. A dashboard shows which products have the most people waiting, so you can prioritize restocks.

Key points
  • Notify-me button added to sold-out product pages, automatically on most themes
  • See waiting demand in dollars, broken down by product and variant
  • Ranked restock recommendations with suggested reorder quantities and size mix
  • Add a Notify Me button to sold-out products without editing theme code
  • Automatically email waiting customers the moment a product is restocked
  • Double opt-in confirmation keeps your list clean and customers verified
  • See which products have the most people waiting on a demand dashboard
