    Pre-sales informations

    Magento versions supported by Back In Stock Notifications

    This extension works with Magento Community Edition and also Magento Enterprise Edition. To know if Back In Stock Notifications is compatible with your Magento version, please check the Compatibility tab.

    Magento Open Source vs Magento Commerce vs Magento Commerce Cloud

    Magento offers three variations of its product.

    As their names have changed over the past few years, here is a recap:

    • Magento Open Source: previously Magento Community Edition (CE), is a free and non-hosted e-commerce platform.
    • Magento Commerce: previously Magento Enterprise (EE), is the paid version of Magento and offers support services.
    • Magento Commerce Cloud: is the paid version of Magento and offers support and hosting services.

    License and domains

    License validity

    A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single installation

    • If you're using more than one installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each instance.
    • if you're running several domains on a same installation, you will need only one license for all of them.
    Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your Support & Upgrade period does. By purchasing a module, you’ll be granted a 12-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to pay for a new one (see FAQ: Extend your Support period)
    Domains pre-registration

    You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

    Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the module ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

    To pre-register your production domain: 

    1. Go to:
      mY account › Licenses & DOwnloads
    2. Click on the Settings icon next to the module you want your domain to pre-register on.
    3. Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
      Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
    4. Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .

    Testing environments

    One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one installation only. However, it is possible to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases: 

    • If you would like to add your testing environments to your license. 
      In that case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
      For  mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
    • If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
      In that case, the Support & Upgrade period for your license must still be active.

    To be able to use Back In Stock Notifications on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

    1. Download Back In Stock Notifications.
      (see FAQ: Extensions download)
    2. Install Back In Stock Notifications on your environment.
      (see FAQ: Modules installation in Magento or in WooCommerce)
    3. Activate the license.
      (see FAQ: Licenses activation in Magento or in WooCommerce)

    Extensions activation from the back-office of Magento

    Once Back In Stock Notifications is installed, you have to activate the license. For previous versions, you can activate the license from your back-office:

      1. Go to your Magento admin panel. A message pops up at the top of the page.
        If the message doesn't appear then you must check that:

           1. The Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are well enabled.
           2. The HTML output of the Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are not disabled in:
        storesconfigurationadvanced advanced
           3. The encryption key well exists in app/etc/env.php:
        <?php
         return array(
         'backend' => array(
         'frontName' => 'admin'
         ),
         'crypt' => array(
         'key' => '1e8f3c6772b7a6a6689c3c8cefa4ccf0'
         ),
         /* ... */
         )
        ?>​
      2. Copy your activation key in:
        Stores › Configuration › Wyomind › Your extension

        You can find your activation key in 2 different places:
        -  In the confirmation email that you received after purchasing Back In Stock Notifications.
        -  In your Wyomind account: My account › Licenses & downloads
        Select Back In Stock Notifications and click on  .

        A new page opens where you'll find your activation key (see below).
      3. In your Magento admin go to:
        Stores › Configuration › Wyomind › Your extension

        Paste the activation key in the Activation Key field and choose between the automatic (yes) or the manual (no) activation method:
        -  By choosing Yes, the connection to Wyomind license server will be automatic.
        -  By choosing No, you will have to log on to Wyomind license server yourself.
      4. Click on Save config .
      5. A message appears at the top of your admin panel. Click on that link: 
        Activate it now!
      6. Copy and paste the license code in the License code field from your admin or simply click on  Activate now! 

      7. Finally, refresh your cache, log out and log in back straight after, to complete the installation.

    Add another domain to your license


    To activate the license on another domain (test, staging...):

    1. Once the extension is installed on the new domain, copy your activation key in:
      Stores › Configuration › Wyomind › Your extension
    2. After having saved the configuration, a notification appears. Click on Add this domain to my license.

    3. A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
      Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
      If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Back In Stock Notifications on both environments at the same time.

    Note that the order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter. You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.

    Also, if you have loads of staging domains, or if you are an agency managing load of domains for your customers, please contact us so that we can automatically whitelist these domains.
    Extensions activation from the CLI

    Once Back In Stock Notifications is installed, you have to activate the license.

    For this, you can use the below command line (change the Activation key with the corresponding value):

    bin/magento wyomind:license:activate Wyomind_BackInStockNotifications <YOUR_ACTIVATION_KEY>

    To retrieve the list of all the available modules as well as the licenses status, please use:

    bin/magento wyomind:license:status

     Among the different status, you can find: 

    • registered = your license is registered
    • pending = you need to run the activation command line
    • invalidated = the license has been invalidated due to a wrong activation key or a license infringement

    To activate several licenses at the same time, use:

    bin/magento wyomind:license:activate \
    Wyomind_Extension1,Wyomind_Extension2 \
    ACTIVATION_KEY_1,ACTIVATION_KEY_2

    or:

    bin/magento wyomind:license:activate \
    Extension1,Extension2 \
    ACTIVATION_KEY_1,ACTIVATION_KEY_2
