## Sharraxaad
**WT Waitlist** is a “back in stock” waitlist for WooCommerce without bloat. Customers
leave their email on an out-of-stock product page, and when the stock returns —
the plugin sends a notification in the background through Action Scheduler.
Built by the [webmasters.team](https://webmasters.team) team. Open-source code,
no external APIs, all data stored locally in the WordPress database.
#### Key features
* **Signup form replaces Add to cart** for out-of-stock products, with variation
support (per size/color).
* **Custom database tables** (`{prefix}_waitlist_subscriptions`) — we do not clutter`
wp_postmeta`, the plugin scales to tens of thousands of subscriptions.
* **Action Scheduler queue** (bundled with WooCommerce): batch of 50 emails per
tick, automatic retries, retry log visible in `WooCommerce Status Scheduled
Actions`.
* **5 min throttle** per product — prevents duplicate sends when multiple hooks
fire (e.g. quantity change followed by status change).
* **One-click unsubscribe** via a link in the email (SHA-256 token), no confirmation
or login required.
* **GDPR-ready**: consent logging (anonymized IP, timestamp, user agent), integration
with WordPress Privacy Tools (export and erasure of data per email).
* **CSV export** of subscribers from the admin panel (streamed, no timeouts on
large lists).
* **Anti-spam**: honeypot plus rate limiter per IP (10 submissions per hour).
* **Theme compatibility**: classic themes (Storefront, Twenty Twenty-One/Two/Three)
plus block themes (Twenty Twenty-Four/Five) — the form attaches through a hook
for classic templates and through a `render_block` filter for FSE.
* **Zero external dependencies**: apart from WooCommerce, requires only plain PHP
8.0+.
#### Shortcode fallback
```
[wt_waitlist product_id="123"] — use this if your custom product template does not fire the standard hooks.
```
#### What WT Waitlist does NOT do (by design)
* No SMS, no Mailchimp/MailerLite integrations in the free version.
* No double opt-in (minimal flow — leave email, get notification).
* No WYSIWYG editor for email templates (HTML template lives in the plugin file,
override with the `wt_waitlist/notification_context` filter).
These features are planned for the Pro edition. The free edition covers 100% of
the core waitlist flow.
## Sawir-shaashado
* [[
* Waitlist form on a WooCommerce out-of-stock product page.
* [[
* Subscriber management screen in the admin with filters, statuses and CSV export.
* [[
* Notification email delivered when the product is back in stock.
## Rakibaad
1. Install and activate WooCommerce (required).
2. Install **WT Waitlist** via WP Admin Plugins Add new, or manually over FTP (folder`
wt-waitlist` in `wp-content/plugins/`).
3. Activate the plugin.
4. Open the **WT Waitlist** menu in the admin panel and configure data retention plus
the administrator notification email address.
On first activation the plugin creates its database tables and schedules a daily
job that purges old subscriptions.
## SBI
### How does the form appear on the product page?
Automatically — the plugin hooks into the standard WooCommerce action (`woocommerce_single_product_summary`)
for classic themes and into the `render_block` filter for block themes (FSE). The
form is shown only when the product is out of stock.
### What if my theme or template does not fire WooCommerce hooks?
Use the shortcode `[wt_waitlist product_id="123"]` — it works everywhere, from page
builders to custom single product templates.
### How many emails are sent at once?
Action Scheduler processes batches of 50 subscribers per tick. For a product with
1000 subscribers we queue 20 batches, each processed asynchronously, without blocking
the PHP request.
### Do emails go through my WP Mail configuration?
Yes. We use `wp_mail()` — if you have WP Mail SMTP, SendGrid, Amazon SES etc. configured,
the mail travels through them. The plugin does not hardcode any provider.
### What happens to the data after uninstalling the plugin?
The `uninstall.php` file drops the tables and deletes the options. Clean. If you
deactivate without deleting, the data stays — you can reactivate without losing
subscriptions.
### GDPR compliance?
The plugin stores anonymized IPs (last octet zeroed), consent timestamp and user
agent. It integrates with WordPress Privacy Tools — a customer can request data
export or deletion through the standard WordPress flow.
