Magento 2 Back-in-Stock Notifications Extension
- Community
The Problem
- ✖ Customers often leave stores when products are out of stock
- ✖ Magento stores can lose potential sales when customers are not notified about restocks
- ✖ Manual customer notification workflows are difficult to manage at scale
- ✖ Default Magento functionality may not provide flexible back-in-stock subscription workflows
The Solution
Toweringmedia Back In Stock Notifications for Magento 2 allows customers to subscribe to out-of-stock products and automatically receive notifications when inventory becomes available again, helping merchants recover lost sales and improve customer engagement.
How It works
See It In Action
Toweringmedia Backorder (toweringmedia/module-backorder) equips Magento 2.4 stores with a purpose-built back-in-stock notification workflow. When a product is not salable, shoppers can subscribe directly from the product page; when salability returns, the extension automatically delivers the alerts you configure.
Email notifications use configurable Magento templates so you can match your brand voice, while optional Twilio SMS adds higher-signal restock messaging for customers who opt in with a phone number.
Highlights
- Subscribe block wired into native Luma and Hyvä catalog product layouts
- Persistent subscription records tied to products (and store context) for reliable delivery
- Cron-driven processing that watches for salability changes and dispatches pending notifications
- Admin tools for sender identity, template selection, SMS credentials, and test messaging
- Compatible with Magento 2.4.x Open Source and Adobe Commerce
Recommended rollout
Validate in a staging environment first: place test subscriptions across simple/configurable scenarios, simulate replenishment, and confirm both email and SMS paths before enabling in production.
