Setting up the Notify me option
Setting up the Notify me option

This article explains how to set up the Notify me feature in stores that use Legacy CMS Portal. For stores using VTEX IO, the setup follows the steps described in the Availability Notify guide.

When a product is out of stock, the retailer may choose to make the Notify me feature available to the customer. This feature allows interested customers to be notified by email when the item is available again.

See below an example of how the Notify me option is displayed in a store. To receive a notification when the item is back in store, the customer must type in the name and the email in the marked fields and then click on the Send button.

As soon as the item is back in stock, the system automatically sends an email to the customer informing them that the product is available for purchase again.
