How to add a waitlist button for out of stock product sizes?

[FRNZCLUB]

Hi everyone, 

If a couple of sizes of a product is out of stock, but I plan on restocking, does anyone know an app that allows specific sizes to have a "get on the waitlist" button instead of an "add to cart"?

thanks

Hi, @FRNZCLUB.

Thanks for your message, this sounds like a great idea. I could only find one specific app on our store for a product waitlist function: 

- Product Waiting Lists

However, another option you could look into is a pre-order app, which we offer an abundance of. This would of course allow your customers the option to pre-order a product that you intend to have in stock soon. Here are some examples:

- Coming Soon Products Preorder

- Globo Pre-Order

- Storm Pre-Order

These apps are either free or have free trial periods, so I would recommend downloading them first to ensure they can achieve exactly what you want before making your final decision. Alternatively, you could always reach out to a Shopify Expert, who may be able to customize a solution for you.

I hope some of these ideas help you out moving forward, please do not hesitate to reach back out here with any questions!

Hey @FRNZCLUB! Most, if not all, back in stock alerts apps on Shopify can help you with this. We have this on Stoq too - one of Shopify's top rated apps for back in stock alerts and preorders.

1. We make it super simple to add a "Notify me when available" button to your out of stock products and it will only appear on variants/sizes that are out of stock. It's literally as simple as enabling the App embed.
2. Our team can also add some custom changes so the "Add to cart"/"Sold out" button is hidden for out of stock variants. That way, when customers click on an out of stock size, they only see the "Join waitlist" button and nothing else. 🙂

We have a generous free plan and 24*7 support round the clock. I'd love to help in any way I can, so hit us up on live chat!
