Hikashop - Out of stock notification (Improved)

Description: Hikashop - Out of Stock Notification (Improved) is a plugin for Hikashop that allows you to send out of stock notification emails. Unlike the default plugin, it allows you to specify a custom list of email recipients, and set a stock limit for each individual product. This allows you to receive a notification when stock drops below a certain number for specific products, as opposed to the default plugin that only allows you to set one global stock limit.

Additional features:

  • Custom list of email recipients: Allows you to set a custom list of email recipients for the out of stock notification email.
  • Product-specific stock limit: Allows you to set a stock limit for each individual product. You can choose “Default”, which will use the global stock limit, “Unlimited”, when you never want to receive an out of stock notification for that product, or a number indicating the minimum amount of items that you want to have in stock.
