What Back in Stock does
Back in Stock Notifications for WooCommerce adds a "Notify me" form to out-of-stock products. When the product, or the exact variation the customer wanted, is back in stock, everyone waiting gets an email with a link to buy it.

Questions about Back in Stock
When are emails sent?
As soon as a product's stock status changes to "In stock", whether you edit the product, import stock or receive a refund that restocks it. Sending runs in the background, 50 emails per batch.
Does it work for variations?
Yes. Customers subscribe to the exact variation, and only that variation coming back in stock triggers their email.
Is the email sent more than once?
No. Each signup is emailed once and then marked as emailed.
What about products on backorder?
Products that can be backordered are still purchasable, so the form is not shown.
