This extension connects an online store powered by Adobe Commerce (Magento) with Voyado Engage, which is Voyado’s customer loyalty and marketing platform. Think of it as a bridge that keeps your webshop and your customer engagement tools in sync. Two major new capabilities have recently been added:

​
Back in stock subscriptions

The problem it solves: A shopper visits your online store and finds a product they want, but it’s currently out of stock. Previously, they’d just leave — and you’d lose that potential sale. What it does now:
  • When a product goes out of stock, the system automatically takes note of it behind the scenes.
  • Shoppers can sign up to be notified when that product comes back. Their request gets sent to Voyado Engage, where it’s recorded against their customer profile.
  • If the shopper doesn’t already exist in Voyado, the system automatically creates a customer record for them so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • A scheduled job runs every day (by default at 8:15 AM) that checks which previously out-of-stock products now have inventory again.
  • When stock arrives, Voyado Engage is notified — and it can then automatically send an email or message to all the customers who were waiting for that product.
In short: Customers can say “tell me when this is available again,” and the system handles the rest — automatically.

​
Inventory changes

The problem it solves: Voyado Engage needs to know how much stock you have for each product so it can make smart decisions — like not promoting a product that’s about to sell out, or triggering those “back in stock” notifications at the right time. What it does now:
  • The system can send stock levels from Magento to Voyado, either one product at a time or in bulk (batches) for efficiency.
  • The batch capability (the most recent addition from March 2026) means that instead of sending hundreds of individual updates, the store can send them all at once — which is much faster and more reliable when you have a large product catalog.
In short: Your online store keeps Voyado up to date on what’s in stock and what isn’t, so marketing campaigns and notifications stay accurate.

​
How it all fits together

The extension is built in three layers:
LayerWhat it does
API layer (/api)A PHP library that knows how to talk to Voyado’s web services (generated from Voyado’s official API specifications).
SDK layer (/sdk)A friendlier wrapper around the API — it handles things like finding or creating customer records and managing “back in stock” subscriptions.
Magento module (/magento2)The actual Magento extension that store owners install. It hooks into Magento’s product catalog, inventory system, and customer management to trigger all the syncing automatically.
The extension also handles many other things (syncing orders/receipts, promotions, vouchers, newsletter subscriptions, customer data, etc.), but the back in stock notifications and batch stock level sync are the headline new features.

​
Configure Back in stock

1

Enable back in stock

Still in the Magento Admin under Stores → Configuration → Voyado Engage:1a. Scroll to the Back in stock section:
FieldValueNotes
EnableYesTurns on the subscription form and the stock sync
Ask for phone numberYes/NoOptional — adds phone + SMS consent fields to the form
1b. Save the configuration.
2

Configure the out-of-stock product visibility setting

This is a critical Magento catalog setting that the indexers depend on.Navigate to:
Stores → Configuration → Catalog → Inventory → Stock Options
Set Display Out of Stock Products (cataloginventory/options/show_out_of_stock) based on your Magento version:
Magento VersionSetting
2.4.6 and lowerNo
2.4.7 and higherYes
Getting this wrong means the indexers won’t correctly detect stock transitions, and the back-in-stock flow will silently fail.
3

Set the indexers to 'Update by Schedule'

The two Voyado indexers must run in scheduled (MView) mode, not “Update on Save”. Run:
bash
bin/magento indexer:set-mode schedule voyado_backinstock
bin/magento indexer:set-mode schedule voyado_backinstock_msi
Verify they are set correctly:
bash
bin/magento indexer:show-mode voyado_backinstock
bin/magento indexer:show-mode voyado_backinstock_msi
Both should report “Update by Schedule”.
4

Verify RabbitMQ and the Message Queue Consumer

The extension publishes all Voyado API calls to a RabbitMQ topic called voyado.api. A consumer processes them asynchronously.
  • Confirm RabbitMQ is running and Magento is connected to it (check app/etc/env.php for the queue → amqp connection).
  • Ensure the Voyado message queue consumer is running. In production you would typically use supervisord or a similar process manager:
bash
bin/magento queue:consumers:start voyado.api.consumer
Without the consumer running, subscription messages and stock level updates will pile up in the queue and never reach Voyado Engage.
5

Verify the cron job is registered

The back-in-stock cron is defined to run daily at 08:15 server time:
voyado/adobe-commerce-extension-copy/magento2/src/etc/crontab.xml

<job instance="Voyado\Magento2\Cron\BackInStock" method="execute"\
     name="voyado_magento2_cron_backinstock">\
    <schedule>15 8 * * *</schedule>\
</job>
Verify your Magento cron is running properly:
bash
bin/magento cron:run
Check the schedule is registered:
bash
bin/magento cron:status
If you need the stock check to run more frequently (e.g., every hour), you can override the cron schedule in your Magento configuration, but the default is once per day.
6

Test the complete flow

Test the subscription flow:
  1. Go to a product detail page in your storefront.
  2. If the product is in stock and Back in Stock is enabled, you should see a “Notify me when available” form with an email field (and optionally phone).
  3. Select a product variant that’s out of stock, fill in your email, and click “Notify me”.
  4. Confirm the message was queued: check the queue_message table in the database or your RabbitMQ management console for a message with event back_in_stock_subscription.
  5. Confirm the consumer processed it: check Magento logs (var/log/) for Voyado API call records.
Test the inventory change flow:
  1. Set a product to out-of-stock in the Magento admin (or set quantity to 0).
  2. Wait for the indexer to run (or trigger it manually: bin/magento indexer:reindex voyado_backinstock voyado_backinstock_msi).
  3. Verify a record appears in the voyado_backinstock_index table.
  4. Set the product back to in-stock (increase quantity).
  5. Either wait for the 08:15 cron, or trigger it manually: bin/magento cron:run --group=default.
  6. Verify the record has been removed from voyado_backinstock_index (meaning it was processed).
  7. Check logs to confirm a back_in_stock_update_stock_levels message was sent to Voyado Engage.
