The most important aspect of operating an e-commerce site is "selling products.
Of course, if this part of "selling products" is not functioning, the site is fatally flawed.
Therefore
An e-commerce site where products cannot be purchased is the worst kind of e-commerce site.
This can be said to be the case. No such e-commerce site exists! Some people may say, "I don't know.
"Products not in stock
The same can be said about the
No product in stock = no product available for purchase.

What is a Restocking Notification for Out-of-Stock Items?
Perhaps " restocking notification" is not a familiar term to those who have just started an e-commerce site.
Simply put, a restocking notification is a notification sent to customers when an out-of-stock item is restocked.
For example, let's say there is an e-commerce site that sells T-shirts of your favorite artist. You go to the e-commerce site, hoping to purchase it, but unfortunately it is out of stock.
Unfortunately, the site is out of stock, but it has a restocking notification feature, as shown below, which allows you to register your e-mail address to be notified when the item comes back in stock in the future.
Then later, I received an e-mail notifying me that the item was back in stock, and I was able to purchase the item I was looking for. This is the flow of the process.
This "notification when inventory is back in stock" is called a restocking notification.
Merits and Benefits of Restock Notification
What are the benefits and effects of restocking notifications?
With Restock Notification | Users can take action even when there is no stock. When the product is back in stock, the user will be notified, increasing the likelihood of a purchase. |
No Restock Notification | If there is no stock, the user cannot do anything. |
Thus, essentially, by setting up a restocking notification where nothing can be done if there was no stock, you can lead to future purchases!
Since they have come to our e-commerce site with an interest in our products, it is in their best interest to minimize opportunity loss as much as possible. And the re-stocking notification setting in Back In Stock introduced here is a very effective application for reducing opportunity loss.
