Looking for a way to handle WooCommerce Pre-orders?
WooCommerce Pre-order lets you publish products in your store before they become available, and significantly extends the basic backorder functionality of WooCommerce. Shoppers can buy products before they become available,, and you release the products and fill the orders when you’re ready.
Loaded with helpful features, this plugin makes pre-sales a breeze.
- Set your product availability date
- Optionally set an availability time
- Optionally make products available at the date / time that you set – automatically
- Automatically set available stock levels when products become available
- Customize the preorder status message shown on your product page.
- Optionally display a countdown timer for your preorder products
- Customize the count down timer look and feel with easily editable timer fields and by using your own CSS
- All preorders get a custom order status of “Preorder” so you can easily find and fill the orders when you’re ready.
- Works with simple products, variable products, virtual products, and downloadable products. Note that for variable products it treats all variations the same in terms of allowing preordering. You cannot control preordering of individual variations.
- With downloadable products, the plugin prevents download links from being sent until you make the product available and mark preorders as completed.
- Allows shoppers to checkout with multiple items in the cart, because all preorders must be paid for in full at the time of checkout.
- Unbeatable support via email and phone.
Easy to configure, easy to use, boost your sales with preorders!
