StockChime Restock Alerts for WooCommerce

StockChime puts a short subscribe form on out-of-stock WooCommerce products. A shopper leaves an email address, and when the product comes back StockChime sends them a message. Most back-in-stock plugins listen only to WooCommerce hooks. ERP syncs, CSV importers and inventory tools frequently write stock straight to the database, so the hook never fires and the notification is never sent. StockChime instead keeps a snapshot of the products people are waiting on and reconciles it on a schedule, so it detects a restock regardless of how the stock was written. What it does

• A subscribe form on out-of-stock products, including per-variation on variable products.
• Email alerts when a watched product returns to stock.
• Scheduled reconciliation, so restocks written directly to the database are still caught.
• Editable email subject and body, with placeholders for product name, URL, image, price, stock quantity, store name and the unsubscribe link.
• A one-click unsubscribe link in every message.
• An admin screen listing subscribers, with filtering and bulk delete.
• A compose screen for sending a manual message to selected subscribers.
• Duplicate-proof dispatch: concurrent workers cannot send the same shopper the same restock twice.
• Full uninstall cleanup - deleting the plugin removes its tables, options and scheduled jobs. Deactivating it removes nothing.

Requirements WooCommerce 7.0 or newer. Your site must be able to send email; StockChime uses whatever mailer WordPress is already configured with. Roadmap These are planned and not in this release: price drop alerts, WhatsApp, SMS and web push channels, double opt-in confirmation, and CSV export.

1. Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/stockchime, or install it from Plugins > Add New.
