X-Cart:X-ProductNotifications
Overview
X-ProductNotifications is a software package that includes three different types of product notifications available for customers upon their submission:
- price-drop notification An email notification is sent to a customer when a product price goes down;
- low-stock notification A subscribed customer will get an email when there is just a few items remaining in stock. It is going to provoke an indecisive customer to buy a product;
- back in stock notification If an item is temporarily out-of-stock, a customer may want to be notified when it is back in stock;
Each type of notification may be enabled/disabled. The way customers unsubscribe may also be configured for each notification type. Moreover, the store owner is able to manage all the subscriptions on a separate page.
The mod works with variants as well as with regular products.
Depending on the module settings, the product nofications links (buttons) can be visible in Customer area:
in the product list section (main column):
