Notify when stock is meaningful
The minimum stock quantity setting lets you wait until enough managed stock has returned before notifications begin. This gives your store a more confident restock moment and helps avoid inviting a full waitlist back for a very small quantity.
Set your threshold
- Open Back in Stock → Settings.
- Find the Restock rules section.
- Enter the minimum stock quantity you want before notifications are sent.
- Save your changes.
For products with WooCommerce-managed numeric stock, the item must be in stock and at or above this quantity. For products without a managed numeric quantity, WooCommerce’s in-stock status is used.
Stock is checked again before each email
GoScript Back in Stock for WooCommerce checks the product or variation again immediately before a notification is handed off for sending. If the item sells out or falls below the threshold during processing, that customer remains waiting for the next qualifying restock.
Choose a threshold that fits your catalog
For limited or fast-moving items, a higher threshold can give more customers a meaningful chance to return before stock disappears. For regularly replenished products, a lower threshold can help you reconnect with demand sooner. Start with the stock level that feels dependable for your store, then refine it as you learn from restock activity.
