Overview
When a product runs out of stock, most interested customers leave and forget to come back. ByteWaitlist catches that interest before it walks away: an out-of-stock product shows a waitlist button instead of a dead end, and when you restock, everyone waiting gets an email inviting them to complete the purchase.
How it works
- A product sells out. Its page automatically shows a waitlist button in place of the unavailable purchase.
- Customers register interest with one click, and can review their waitlisted products any time from their own account page.
- You see the demand in the admin dashboard: which products people are waiting for, and how many.
- You restock. ByteWaitlist emails everyone on that product’s waitlist, turning the restock into a sales event instead of a quiet inventory update.
Demand data you did not have before
Waitlists double as a demand signal: products with long waitlists tell you what to reorder first and how much, before you spend anything on promotion.
Free and Pro
The free version covers the waitlist itself: the button on out-of-stock products, the customer’s waitlisted items on their account page, the admin dashboard and the built-in guide. Pro adds the recovery half: automated restock emails that bring waiting customers back the moment stock returns, plus priority support over email and Discord. See the comparison below for the exact split.
Who it is for
Stores selling limited-stock or fast-moving products, retailers who restock regularly, and any merchant tired of watching out-of-stock pages send ready-to-buy customers to a competitor. A built-in how-to guide covers setup, and the developer’s email and Discord are in the settings when you need help.
