**Follow these steps:**

2. Go to the **Visibility** section of the form.
3. Select the products, variants, or collections where the form should apply.
4. Enable **Only for sold-out products** (Automated Waitlist for Sold-Out Products).
5. Save your changes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once enabled, the waitlist form appears **only when the selected product is sold out**.\
When the product is back in stock, the form is hidden automatically and normal purchasing resumes.
{% endhint %}

#### Why use “Only for sold-out products”?

* **Capture demand without hurting conversions**\
  Customers can purchase immediately when items are in stock and join the waitlist only when they’re not.
* **Perfect for fast-moving or limited inventory**\
  Automatically collect emails when popular products sell out, without manual changes.
* **Reduce manual work**\
  No need to show or hide forms manually—everything updates based on stock status.
* **Great for restock planning**\
  Collect signups only when demand exists and prioritize restocking accordingly.
* **Ideal for dropshipping or seasonal products**\
  Enable waitlists only when items are unavailable, then switch back to normal selling when restocked.
