Hello, @jamarzy .

Thank you for posting this question!

If you’d like to learn more about the features on Shopify Plus, then we’ve got a guide on that here: Shopify Plus. However, it would be an easier option to use a third-party back in stock app as they provide the tools to easily manage alerts and keep track of customers that have requested to be notified. The alternative will likely require a significant amount of custom coding and flows in order to replicate what these apps can do.

For example, Back in Stock: Restock Alerts is great for getting started as they offer a free plan that allows you to send up to 10 notifications. The app has built-in integrations with mailing services, such as Klaviyo, and the app developer offer 24/7 support. Should you need to get help with a third-party app, then the app developer is always available to assist you. Simply reach out to them using the contact information found at the bottom of their app’s page.
