Why Waitlytics?
No credits, no SaaS fees — Bring your own AI API key (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini). Pay only for what you use.
Privacy first — Your data stays on your server. AI features only send anonymized sales data when you explicitly run a forecast.
Built for WooCommerce — Not a generic tool adapted for WooCommerce. Every feature is purpose-built for store owners.
External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services for AI-powered features (Pro version only):
OpenAI API — Used for AI demand forecasting and inventory intelligence. When you run a forecast, anonymized product sales data (quantities sold per day, current stock level, product price) is sent to OpenAI’s API for analysis. No customer personal data is ever sent. Terms of Use | Privacy Policy
Anthropic API — Alternative AI provider for forecasting (user configurable). Same data as OpenAI when selected as the AI provider. Terms of Service | Privacy Policy
Google Gemini API — Alternative AI provider for forecasting (user configurable). Same data as above when selected. Terms of Service | Privacy Policy
Freemius — This plugin uses the Freemius SDK for license management, plugin updates (Pro version), and optional usage diagnostics. Freemius does not collect any data unless the site administrator explicitly opts in via the consent screen shown on first activation. Opting in is optional and skipping it does not affect any plugin functionality. If opted in, Freemius collects basic WordPress environment data (WordPress version, PHP version, plugin version, site language) and the administrator’s email address for update and security notifications. Terms of Service | Privacy Policy
No data is sent to any external service without your explicit configuration and consent. The free version of this plugin does not connect to any AI service.

Frequently asked questions.
Do I need an API key to use this plugin?
No. The back-in-stock notification features (free version) work without any API key. AI forecasting features (Pro) require an OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini API key.
Does it work with variable products?
Yes. Waitlytics detects when a specific product variation is out of stock and shows the notification form for that variation. Subscribers are notified when their specific variation is restocked.
How are customers notified?
By email (free), or additionally by SMS and WhatsApp (Pro via Twilio). When a product’s stock status changes from “out of stock” to “in stock,” all active subscribers for that product are emailed automatically.
Is it GDPR compliant?
The free version collects only email addresses with explicit user consent (they must enter their email and click subscribe). Pro adds double opt-in and unsubscribe management. No data is shared with third parties in the free version.
Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS?
Yes. Waitlytics is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS/Custom Order Tables).
Can I customize the notification email?
The free version uses a clean default template with your store’s branding. Pro allows full customization of the email template, subject line, and content.
