Add-on
Notify Me
Lets a shopper subscribe to an upcoming auction and get emailed the moment it goes live. Adds a bell button to every upcoming auction card and detail page. Deactivate to remove the button and reminder emails without touching bidding.

Changelog
-
Version 1.0.21 4 Nov 2026
- On a demo store, auction start reminders are no longer attempted from the background job (a demo only sends email a visitor asked for), so the log isn't filled with SMTP warnings. On a store without SMTP set up, the warning is logged at most once a day instead of every few minutes.
- For developers: this plugin now tells the coming Clear test data tool what to do with each of its tables (empty it, keep it, or remove it only with customer accounts). Nothing changes for store owners yet. -
Version 1.0.20 30 Oct 2026
- If your server still has this add-on's cron file from before the plugin system, it now runs this add-on's current job instead of its old code.

Version 1.0.19 29 Oct 2026
- Amharic (አማርኛ) translation, machine-translated (review welcome).
- Oromo (Afaan Oromoo) translation, machine-translated (review welcome). -
Version 1.0.18 27 Oct 2026
- A guest pressing Notify Me, on an auction's page or its card, now gets the store's sign-in window, which brings them back to the page after signing in, in place of a short line under the button (a store whose core doesn't have the window yet keeps the line). The prompt is reworded in all 21 languages.
-
Version 1.0.17 26 Oct 2026
- Coins-only stores: the "auction is now live" e-mail names the starting bid in coins, not the money symbol from the store settings.
-
Version 1.0.16 26 Oct 2026
- Adds Thai (ไทย). Machine-translated; review welcome.
- Japanese translation. -
Version 1.0.15 25 Oct 2026
- Adds Polish (pl) text. Machine-translated.
-
Version 1.0.14 23 Oct 2026
- A 'now live' reminder still goes out if the auction started more than 30 minutes ago and is still running, for example after missed cron runs or a long list of subscribers. Reminders that were missed for auctions still running go out after this update.
- The 'auction is now live' email is no longer sent for an auction that has already ended or was bought outright with Buy Now.
- The Notify Me bell now says so when it couldn't reach the store, instead of doing nothing (home-page cards).
