Boost Sales with OpenCart Back in Stock Notifications
The Product Stock Notification Alert extension replaces the default "Add to Cart" button with a "Notify Me" button for out-of-stock products. When customers click on this button, a subscription form pops up, allowing them to subscribe to receive notifications when the product is back in stock.
Customers will be notified via email and optionally SMS when the product stock is updated by the admin. This feature helps store owners track product demand and enhance customer engagement by keeping them informed about product availability.
If you require both "Add to Cart" and "Notify Me" functionalities for out-of-stock products, our team can provide a customization service. Contact our support for more details.
Problem Statement

Store owners also struggle to track which products customers are waiting for. Without a system to notify customers about restocks, potential buyers might never return to make a purchase.
This extension solves this issue by allowing customers to subscribe for stock alerts and automatically notifying them when the product is available again, ensuring they return to complete their purchase.
