What would you do if a viral product suddenly became impossible to restock?

Your product is selling better than expected, and orders keep coming in. The problem is, your supplier tells you that the next batch won't arrive for a few weeks. Would you stop promoting it, accept preorders, or offer customers other options while they wait? How would you handle the situation without disappointing your customers or losing their trust?

I'd make an announcement letting customers know that the product won't be restocked for now and explain the reasons why. Maybe the supplier discontinued it, the production costs went up, or there's no confirmed date for the next shipment. I'd rather be honest about the situation than keep customers waiting without knowing when the product will be available again. At least they can decide whether to look for an alternative instead of waiting for something that might not come back.
