FAQ
-
Can I use this plugin with variable products?
-
Yes! It checks each variation. If any variation is in stock or allows backorders, the subscription form will not display.
-
Can I allow backorders and still notify customers?
-
No. Products that allow backorders are treated as available, so the form will not appear.
-
How do I manage my alerts?
-
Logged-in users can manage their alerts from a new menu item “My Alerts” in the WooCommerce “My Account” page.
-
Does it support double opt-in?
-
Yes, a confirmation email is sent to the user before they are added to the waitlist.
