It seems like every day, there’s a new shopify product available for purchase. But with so many products to choose from, how do you decide which one to buy? And what if you want to buy a product but you don’t see it on the shopify website? In this blog post, we will show you how to create a waitlist for products that you want to buy. This way, you can be notified when the product becomes available again.
What is a Waitlist?
When you create a waitlist for a product on Shopify, you are allowing customers to be notified when that product becomes available. When a customer is notified that the product is available, they can choose to add it to their shopping cart and purchase it. If the product is not in stock, the customer will be notified and given the option to either cancel the order or wait for an available copy.
