What is a product waitlist?

If you have a product that is currently out of season or unavailable for purchase, Foraged offers customers the option to join a waitlist. By signing up, they will receive email notifications once the product becomes available for purchase again.

Waitlists are a great way to gauge interest on a particular product on your store. This article details how to properly set up a product waitlist.

Note: If possible, add a timeline as to when your seasonable product will be available.

How to set up a product waitlist

1. Sign into your Vendor Dashboard on Foraged
2. Navigate to the Products tab on the left-side menu. Click the + New Product button and add a product if you haven’t already.
3. While adding the product, ensure that the Inventory is set to 0 and that the listing is set to Active. 
4. Click Save. The product is now available for customers to join the waitlist.

How to view a product waitlist

1. Log into your Vendor Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Products tab in the left-side menu and click the three dots next to the product you would like to view the waitlist for.
3. Click View Waitlist to see the customers on the waitlist. If you do not see the View Waitlist action, then there are no customers on the waitlist.
