What it does
WooCommerce gives you a single low stock setting, which rarely fits every item in a catalog. A fast seller and a slow seller need different warning points. This plugin lets you set a default threshold for everything, then override it for individual products, specific variations or whole categories. When stock reaches a warning level, email notifications go out to as many recipients as you choose, so the people who reorder inventory hear about it in time.
The plugin also controls what customers read on product pages. You can edit the in stock and out of stock labels and write custom messages for stock above or below your thresholds. Stores that run WPML can translate these messages for each language. Stock quantities can be updated from the WordPress dashboard, and a setup wizard walks admins through configuring thresholds and messages without technical knowledge.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with products that sell at different rates
- Shops with variable products needing per-variation stock warnings
- Multilingual WooCommerce stores using WPML
Features
Per product stock thresholds
Assign a custom low stock warning level to a single product, a specific variation or an entire category, so alerts match how each item actually sells.
Default warning level
Set one store-wide low stock threshold that applies to every product without its own custom rule, keeping notifications consistent across the catalog.
Email alerts to multiple recipients
Send automatic email notifications to several people when stock reaches a warning level, so purchasing and store staff can restock before items run out.
Editable stock status text
Change the in stock and out of stock labels on product pages and add custom messages for stock levels above or below your thresholds.
WPML translation support
Translate stock status messages with WPML so shoppers on multilingual WooCommerce stores see availability text in their own language.
Dashboard stock editing
Update stock quantities for your products from the WordPress dashboard instead of opening each product edit screen one at a time.
Guided setup wizard
A setup wizard and simple controls help store admins configure thresholds and stock messages without needing coding or technical experience.
Questions about WooCommerce Out of Stock! Manager
