Hi @zilog357
I’ll be happy to help!
The WooCommerce Waitlist extension allows your customers to add out-of-stock products to a waitlist and then notifies them via email when the product is back in stock. This is a great way to keep your customers engaged and to ensure that they come back to your site when an item they want becomes available. With this extension, you can also track the demand for out-of-stock items, which can be very useful for inventory management.
On the other hand, the WooCommerce Back In Stock Notifications extension also sends email notifications to customers when a product is back in stock. However, this extension also includes some additional features. For instance, it allows customers to subscribe to notifications for specific product variations, which can be useful for stores that sell products in different sizes, colors, or other variations. It also includes a dashboard where you can view and manage all the back-in-stock notifications for your store.
Both are excellent tools for managing product inventory and customer expectations. In terms of choosing between the two, it really depends on your specific needs. If you simply need a way to notify customers when a product is back in stock, the WooCommerce Waitlist might be sufficient. If you need more advanced features like the ability to manage notifications for specific product variations, the WooCommerce Back In Stock Notifications might be a better choice.
I hope this clarifies your question! ??
