Make Sales Even With Out-of-Stock Items

Introducing Out Of Stock, an app that lets your customers pre-order and pay for an item before you have it in stock. Some items sell out quicker than others, but you don't want to lose those sales; you want to keep those customers on your site even if you're out of a particular good. With Out Of Stock, your customers get exactly what they want and have it shipped once it becomes available.

How Does It Work?

Out Of Stock does the work for you. Once you install a simple script on your site, a pre-order button shows up for the item. Customers click the button and go through the normal buying process, allowing you to make sales even on out-of-stock items. You also have the option to enable a notify button, which lets customers know the moment the item is in stock via email and/or SMS.

Simple and Automated

After you install the script, you don't have to do anything else. Of course, you can customize the look of your button and match it with your website's theme. However, this simple script adds the button for you while you watch the pre-orders come in and continue to achieve your sales goals.

Don't Lose Another Sale

Out Of Stock not only allows customers to buy an item before you have it but also lets you gauge customer interest in your products. Thanks to the notify option, you gain valuable insight into the products that your customers want without having to ask them. Now that you know why you need Out Of Stock, learn exactly what you can do with it.

Configuration Options


  • Customize the style of the Pre-Order and Notify Me buttons.

  • Turn on/off Pre-Order
  • Turn on/off Notify Me

  • Customize the style and feel of the modal window for the buttons.

  • Create a custom popup, and configure the delivery policy.

  • Send automatic email notifications of a product's availability status.

  • Send customized SMS text messages.
  • Display Settings

    What do you think your pre-order and notify buttons should look like? With Out Of Stock, you can change the text within the buttons, the background color of the buttons and the border color. You can also change the border width to your exact specifications easily from the Settings menu.

    Pre-Order Options

    You get three Pre-Order options for your products: No Pre-Order, Limited Quantity Pre-Order and Unlimited Quantity Pre-Order. With these options, you can inform the customer without having to add unnecessary text on the page.

    Other Benefits

    Out Of Stock lets your customers buy goods and set up pre-order items during one session; they can also pay for a pre-ordered item in advance. Their regular purchase proceeds as normal, and the pre-ordered items ship when the stock status changes to Available. Set up your SMS and email notifications, and have Out Of Stock send them automatically to your customers and alert them of their product's status.

    Do It For Your Customers

    You want to make buying your products easy for the customer, so you should make the pre-order process just as easy. Out Of Stock benefits the customer in so many ways, from allowing them to place and buy the item before it's in stock to receiving instant notifications of the product's availability. You only have to customize the buttons to your desire and let the app do all the work.

The turnaround for the support request I plugged in was phenomenal! The app is working great - once you are all loaded up it is really intuitive.

Out of Stock works well. Not a problem. The most impressive part though is their support - the ShopApps team were awesome. Thanks guys! Superfast response to all requests and questions. No problem with my many 'small' code alterations. ;) Thanks.

So easy to set up! Right now we're only using the Notify Me feature, but plan to use the Pre-Order feature soon. It can be intimidating to dig into code (I'm not a developer by any means), so it's great to know that we can pay for help if we need it...

Also awesome: We wanted to have the option to *not* receive notes on each pre-ordered product, and the Shopapps team responded not just with an acknowledgement, but by adding that feature to their product! Within days! I'm beyond impressed and happy with this app and their support :)

Great app. Even better support. I have a custom template for shop.altraservice.com, so modifications were required. Support installed the necessary scripts and adjusted the template to work smoothly with my site. Very satisfied!

Exactly what we needed! Works even if only certain sizes or colors of a product are out of stock. We can even customize, for each product, the button and pre-order text customers will see, i.e., ships in 1-2 weeks, ships mid July, etc. Perfect! Edited on 10/4: It would be nice if the pre-order text could show up on orders/packing slips.

For years we have struggled with how to best sell "pre-order" items once it sells out on our stores. We've always done it the manual way by creating product templates or using tags.

The "Out of Stock" app automates this process and allows you to show different ship dates for different items. This feature alone is well worth the monthly cost.

It also has the "Notify me when this item is back in stock" feature which is a bonus for us.

The customer service provided is unbelievable!!!! I was super impressed with how fast their communication was and the fact that they took the time to understand exactly what it was that I needed accomplished.

Don't be afraid to pay the $50.00 for install it was worth every penny!!!!!

We recently installed the Out Of Stock app and had ShopApps do the installation for us. They were fantastic and customised the functionality and appearance to exactly how we wanted it.

Great app and support.
