Magento 2 Back-in-Stock Notifications
Recover Lost Sales Automatically When Products Come Back in Stock
When a product goes out of stock you don't have to lose the sale permanently. The Toweringmedia Back-in-Stock Notifications Extension adds a subscribe form directly on the product page so shoppers can request an alert. When salability returns, the extension automatically dispatches configured email notifications—and optionally Twilio SMS—to every subscriber for that product.
Fully integrated with Magento's native salability engine: the extension watches stock status changes via cron, so restocks triggered by admin edits, imports, purchase order receipts, or programmatic inventory updates all trigger the notification pipeline without manual intervention.
Product-Page Subscribe Flow
A "Notify Me" Experience Shoppers Actually Use
When a simple or configurable product's stock status is not salable, the extension replaces or augments the Add-to-Cart button with a clean "Notify Me When Available" subscribe form. The form collects the shopper's email address (and optionally a phone number for SMS), saves the subscription record tied to the product and store context, and immediately confirms the subscription with a transactional acknowledgement email.
For configurable products, the subscribe trigger is aware of the selected variant—so a subscriber for "Blue / Size M" receives an alert specifically when that combination becomes salable again, not whenever any variant restocks.
- ✓ Subscribe form wired into Luma & Hyvä catalog product layout
- ✓ Works with simple, configurable, and grouped products
- ✓ Variant-aware for configurable product subscriptions
- ✓ Subscription confirmation email sent immediately on signup
- ✓ Guest & logged-in customer subscribe flows both supported
- ✓ Optional phone number field for SMS opt-in
Email & Twilio SMS Alerts
Reach Customers Where They Respond — Email or SMS
Restock email notifications use standard Magento email templates, so they inherit your store's transactional email branding, SMTP configuration, and header/footer layouts. The template variables include the product name, image, direct URL, and the subscriber's name—giving you everything needed for a high-conversion restock email.
For customers who opt-in with a phone number, Twilio SMS delivers a short restock message with a direct product link. SMS open rates are dramatically higher than email—making the Twilio integration a powerful tool for high-demand products where speed-to-repurchase matters.
- ✓ Branded Magento email template — customizable in admin
- ✓ Sender name & email address configurable per store
- ✓ Twilio SMS optional — configure SID, token & from-number
- ✓ Admin test-send for both email & SMS channels
- ✓ Notification delivery logged with timestamp & status
Admin Dashboard & Cron Processing
Automated Dispatch When Stock Returns
Subscriptions are stored in Magento and processed by cron when products become salable again. This release does not include an admin subscription grid or CSV export.
A Magento cron job polls salability at a configurable interval. When a product transitions from not-salable to salable, the cron batch retrieves all pending subscriptions for that product and dispatches notifications in bulk. The entire pipeline is automated—restocks trigger alerts without any manual admin action.
- ✓ Subscription records stored for cron notification processing
- ✓ Email alerts via Magento transport; optional Twilio SMS
- ✓ Cron-driven salability change detection
- ✓ Batch notification dispatch for large subscriber lists
- ✓ Notification log — see who was alerted and when
- ✓ Works with admin edits, imports & API-driven restocks
