Dawn Theme: Add email me when available function when item sold out

Topic summary

A merchant using Shopify’s Dawn theme wants to enable a “email me when available” (back‑in‑stock) notification when a product is sold out. They can’t find a built‑in option and are open to adding it with basic code if needed.

A respondent asked for a preview link to the merchant’s previous theme to examine how the feature worked there. The merchant declined, clarifying they only want instructions specific to Dawn.

The respondent stated they need to review the feature before providing detailed guidance and currently don’t know how it works.

No instructions, code, or settings were provided. No images or attachments are involved.

Status: Unresolved. Key next step is either guidance on enabling/adding back‑in‑stock email notifications in Dawn or the merchant agreeing to share details of the old implementation for reference.

Hello

I am using the Dawn theme, my old theme had a box, which showed when an item sold out, which allowed customers to add their email address to be notified when the item was back in stock. Dawn doesn’t seem to have this, or if it does I can’t find it.

Can anyone tell me how to switch it on or to add it somehow? I have basic code knowledge if that’s needed.

Thanks!

Hi @CurrawongSong ,

Can you send me the preview link of the old theme you used for this feature?

I will check it.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I only need to know how to switch the feature on in Dawn, I’m not concerned about my old theme.

Thanks.

Hi @CurrawongSong ,

Because I need to check it feature before I give you detailed instructions, I still don’t know how it works at the moment
