PreProduct lets you set where to redirect customers when they pre-order, as well as whether pre-order and buy-now items can be purchased in the same order.
Redirect options in PreProduct #
You can find this section in PreProduct’s ‘setup’ screen under “Front-end redirects.”
Cart (mixed with buy-nows) #
This option lets customers add multiple pre-order products to cart, as well buy-now items.
This can be a good option if your fulfilment processes can handle mixed orders (pre-order/buy-now items) and you’re happy to fulfil buy-now items at the same time as pre-order items (or pay shipping fees for two shipments)
None (mixed with buy-nows) #
This option is similar to the mixed cart redirect mentioned above, but doesn’t redirect away from the product page. Depending on your store theme, PreProduct will try to update your on-page cart counter and open your native cart drawer.
Redirect to checkout (isolate pre-orders) #
You will need to add a storefront token, to enable this redirect.
This will force redirect customers to checkout as soon as they pre-order; meaning they can only have variants of one product in any pre-order.
This is beneficial if you have several pre-order products arriving at different times. Force redirecting to checkout, will also stop buy-now and pre-order items mixing. Meaning you can protect against the scenario of having to pay shipping twice in one order, once for buy-now items and once for pre-order items.
Redirect to cart (isolate pre-orders) #
You will need to add a storefront token, to enable this redirect.
This option lets customers add multiple pre-order products to cart, but not buy-now items. This is a great choice if you want to take orders containing many different pre-order items, but avoid any buy-now items.
When this configuration is chosen, PreProduct will generate a special pre-order area in your store’s cart page like below. By default, the area of your cart page to load within will be guessed, but you can specify an area by adding data-native-cart-pre-order-cta-container to any HTML tag.
