AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
YITH WooCommerce Waitlist is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Out of stock category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 26 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How YITH WooCommerce Waitlist works
Show full descriptionShow less
A Waitlist plugin allows you to successfully handle promotional campaigns for a product or service before it is actually available: you can just enable a “wait list” option and offer subscribers a discount or a special promotion.
But it’s not just that: it is also a key took to prevent losing perspective customers and therefore sales in case one of your store products goes out of stock and you need time to restock it.
How does it work?
A user finds a product in your shop, and specifically those shoes he loves and has been looking for a long time. But, unfortunately, he cannot buy them because his size is temporarily not available.
His purchase experience is really bad: so now, the only thing left to do is to leave the site and start looking somewhere else.
What if we gave him the opportunity to subscribe to a waitlist?
It’s true, he cannot buy the shoes immediately, but there’s a notice informing him that he can add his email address to be notified when his size is back in stock. One or two weeks later, he receives an email that informs him that his size is finally available and he can buy it with a $5 discount.
Thanks to YITH WooCommerce Waitlist and just one email – with a conversion rate of around 10-15% according to market research – you converted a prospect into a customer and made a sale that would have been lost otherwise.
