This feature allows customers to subscribe to notifications when a product becomes available again after being out of stock. It's handy for customers who are interested in purchasing a product that's currently unavailable.

In the Eurus theme, you can choose how the back-to-stock alert behaves. It can either show by default regardless of the stock status of the product, or only appear when the product is unavailable, based on your settinguration (Use "Only show when product is unavailable" setting).

Admins can customize the text and message displayed when customers subscribe to the back-to-stock alert. This allows for personalized communication with customers who are interested in the product.

After customers subscribe, the store owner receives an email notification about the subscription. However, it's essential for the admin to manually send an email to customers when the product is back in stock, as the theme doesn't handle this automatically. You can integrate with email automation systems such as Klaviyo for further customization.
