LONDOM – Out of Stock Alternatives

Stop losing sales when products sell out. LONDOM – Out of Stock Alternatives automatically replaces the Add to Cart button with smart product recommendations when an item is completely out of stock.

Key Features

• Smart Recommendations – Shows upsells first, then products from the same category
• Variable Product Support – Correctly handles products with multiple variations
• Mobile-First Design – Clean, responsive interface that works on all devices
• Performance Optimized – Intelligent caching system with soft-refresh validation
• Multilingual Ready – Compatible with Polylang and WPML
• Cache Plugin Support – Works with WP Rocket, W3TC, LiteSpeed, and WP Fastest Cache
• Accessible – Full ARIA support and keyboard navigation
• Dark Mode Aware – Automatically adapts to user’s color scheme preference

How It Works

1. Detection – Automatically detects when a product (simple or variable) is completely out of stock
2. Replacement – Removes the Add to Cart button and shows an alternatives block
3. Recommendations – Displays 4 in-stock products: upsells first, then same-category items
4. Smart Caching – Validates cached products on each page load to ensure accuracy
