Keep Selling When Out of Stock
Turn ‘Sold Out’ into ’Pre-order’
Never lose a sale to ‘sold out’ notices again – especially when products go viral or during seasonal peaks. Convert potential disappointment into guaranteed future sales while maintaining clear delivery expectations.
This app is perfect for what my business needed. It was hard to find an app that would allow me to defer capturing payments until a specified time. The support team is also great. I’ll be using PreProduct for all of my future product pre-orders.
