How do I set up back in stock emails?
Add a notify-me form on out-of-stock product pages, collect the subscriber against that product, and send an alert when stock returns. Most email platforms offer this as a built-in feature or flow.
Shoppers who ask to be told are showing high intent, so send the alert quickly once inventory is available. Keep the email short, with the product image and a direct link.
Make sure the stock status is updated reliably, otherwise people may be alerted for items that sell out again within minutes. Consider sending only when quantity passes a sensible threshold.
Be clear about consent: the shopper is requesting one alert, so respect that and invite them to subscribe separately.
In practice.
A sneaker store shows a notify-me button on sold-out sizes. When a restock arrives, it emails each person who asked, with the exact size and a direct link to buy. The page also invites them to join its main list.
