Athenian Notify Back In Stock

Developer starting point

This baseline documents the Notify Back In Stock architecture. It does not claim that a live signup, stock transition, email delivery, or unsubscribe path has been exercised.

Ecosystem integration story

WooCommerce

Athenian Notify Back in Stock is built directly on WooCommerce product and stock events. It uses WooCommerce product context to determine whether the form should render, whether the signup applies to a parent product or variation, and when notification delivery should occur.

Athenian Site Theme

The plugin is theme-token aware, allowing stores to style the waitlist experience using existing Athenian design tokens instead of duplicating design decisions inside plugin CSS. That keeps the storefront experience visually coherent across branded commerce surfaces.

Email infrastructure

The plugin does not replace a broader CRM or lifecycle marketing system. Its role is to handle the transactional restock notification workflow cleanly inside WordPress and WooCommerce, with configurable sender details, subject lines, body templates, confirmation emails, and unsubscribe links.

Store operations

By storing subscriber records and surfacing them in the WordPress admin, the plugin gives operations, support, and merchandising teams visibility into demand for unavailable products. That creates a more actionable signal than a passive out-of-stock state alone.
